An imaging apparatus according to the present invention aims to make a transit of a blur correction section from/to an electronically retained state to/from a mechanically retained state without causing image shifts on a display section. For this purpose, the imaging apparatus includes an image sensor, an LCD monitor, a gyro-sensor, a CCD stage, an actuator, a mechanical retention mechanism, a blur correction function in which the CCD stage is mechanically retained at a predetermined position during non-performance of a blur correction and it is electronically retained in a drivable state at a predetermined position during the blur correction, and a controller changing a display control over the LCD monitor when the CCD stage is transited from/to an electronically retained state to/from a mechanically retained state.
