In an electronically zoomable digital camera having a hand shake
correction mechanism, when electronic zoom operates, pixel shift is
carried out in such manner of capturing a reference image and then
capturing a shifted image after moving an image capturing element from
the reference image by a prescribed amount of shift by means of the hand
shake correction mechanism and thereafter interpolating pixels of the
shifted image between pixels of the reference image. The amount of shift
is changed according to a magnification of the electronic zoom. The hand
shake correction mechanism has a continuous mode in which the movement is
effected by a continuous amount and a fixed amount mode in which movement
is effected by only a fixed amount and is driven in the fixed amount mode
when the pixel shift is carried out.
