    Abstract: An image capture device that can cut down power dissipation to a certain degree while carrying out an image stabilizing operation to a certain degree at any zoom power is provided. An image capture device that can change zoom powers includes: an optical system for producing a subject's image; an imager for capturing the subject's image that has been produced by the optical system; a compensation section for stabilizing the subject's image on the imager; and a control section for choosing one of multiple control modes according to the zoom power and controlling the compensation section in the control mode chosen. At least one of the control modes is defined so that the control section instructs the compensation section to stabilize the subject's image during a still picture shooting period and not to stabilize the subject's image during a non-shooting interval other than the still picture shooting period.
