Definitions
- the present invention relates to an imaging apparatus having an LPF function for obtaining an optical low-pass filter effect by driving a moving member (shake correction member) in a direction different from the optical axis of the imaging optical system (for example, in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis). It relates to the control method.
- an optical low-pass filter is inserted in the optical path of the photographing optical system to separate the photographing light beam into an ordinary light beam and an abnormal light beam (separated into two points or four points), thereby preventing the occurrence of moire and false colors.
- optical low-pass filters are expensive and reduce resolution and contrast. In recent years, an increasing number of digital cameras do not use optical low-pass filters.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a digital camera for preventing the occurrence of moire and false colors without using an optical low-pass filter.
- This digital camera drives the imaging element to draw a predetermined trajectory (for example, a circular trajectory or a square trajectory) during exposure and receives light from a subject light beam at a plurality of pixels having different detection colors. It has an LPF function for obtaining a typical low-pass filter effect.
- the user (photographer) drives the image sensor to remove the moire and false color by manual setting based on the preference and preferences, and activates the LPF function, or the image sensor to prevent the resolution and contrast from being lowered. It is possible to select whether to operate the LPF function without driving.

It became clear that it became the operation unstable time. If exposure is performed during this unstable operation time, not only the expected low-pass filter effect will be obtained, but also moire and false colors will occur, such as differences in shutter speed and uneven optical low-pass filter effect for each shooting frame. The image cannot be stably removed, and the quality of the captured image is significantly deteriorated.
