  • Patent number: 11750908
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus which a lens unit is interchangeable, comprises an image capturing unit which captures images using an image sensor, an synthesizing unit which synthesizes a plurality of images, and a controlling unit which controls predetermined synthesis processing for creating a synthetic image by causing the synthesizing unit to synthesize a plurality of images that have been obtained by the image capturing unit performing image capturing a plurality of times, wherein, if it is judged that a lens unit that has been replaced after a first image for the synthesis processing was acquired is a lens unit having an image circle that is different from that of a lens unit that was mounted before the replacement, the controlling unit controls the image capturing unit to not capture a new image for creating the synthetic image.

  • Patent number: 10812715
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a first calculation unit configured to calculate angular velocity of an object to the imaging apparatus, based on a detection result of a first detection unit that detects a motion vector of the object based on temporally-continuous images obtained by an image sensor and a detection result of a second detection unit that detects motion of the imaging apparatus, a second calculation unit configured to calculate angular acceleration of the object to the imaging apparatus, based on a plurality of angular velocities calculated by the first calculation unit, and a correction unit configured to move a correction component based on the angular velocity of the object to the imaging apparatus during exposure by the image sensor, and to correct image blur of the object.

  • Patent number: 10681274
    Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a CPU and an angular velocity sensor that detects an angular velocity of the imaging apparatus. The CPU acquires a motion vector of an object and calculates an angular velocity of the object based on the motion vector on the image plane of the object and the angular velocity of the imaging apparatus. Additionally, the CPU determines whether or not a panning shot is to be assisted depending on the reliability of the angular velocity of the imaging apparatus and the angular velocity of the object.
