  • Imaging capture device with blur compensation
    Patent number: 8289404
    Abstract: An image capture device that can shoot an image at a more appropriate exposure value with the image blur compensated for properly is provided. The digital camera includes: a motion detecting section 34 for estimating a motion vector of an image shot; a blur compensating section for optically compensating for the blur of the image shot; a mode selecting section for selecting one of multiple control modes for the blur compensating section; and a setting determining section for determining a setting related to an exposure value for shooting an image based on the control mode selected by the mode selecting section and the motion vector estimated.
