IMAGING APPARATUS AND IMAGE BLURRING AMOUNT CALCULATION METHOD THEREFOR

An imaging apparatus includes a processor and two acceleration sensors located at different positions on a first plane orthogonal to the optical axis of an image shooting optical system. The processor calculates a first-direction acceleration estimated value for a first position on the optical axis on the basis of the distances in a second direction between the optical axis and the individual acceleration sensors and first-direction acceleration detected values provided by the individual acceleration sensors, calculates a second-direction acceleration estimated value for the first position on the basis of the distances in a first direction between the optical axis and the individual acceleration sensors and second-direction acceleration detected values provided by the individual acceleration sensors, and calculates a first-direction image blurring amount and a second-direction image blurring amount for the imaging apparatus by using the first-direction acceleration estimated value and the second-direction acceleration estimated value.
