Abstract:
An imaging apparatus includes a camera shake correction unit which uses a coil and a magnet to move a movable portion including an image pickup device relative to a fixed portion. A position detection section detects the position of the movable portion. A setting section sets a resolving power of the detection of the position by the position detection section to a first or second resolving power which is a resolving power higher than the first resolving power and at which an amount of deviation from a target position is less than or equal to a pixel shift amount. A drive control section performs pixel shifts to move the movable portion with the second resolving power set by the setting section. A photography control section causes the image pickup device to perform exposures by timing of the pixel shifting and which composes images obtained by the exposures.

Abstract:
An endoscope system includes an endoscope having a position/angle sensor and an amplifying circuit, a memory configured to store output error sensitivity data and a first wiring resistance value, and a processor including a signal processing circuit configured to process an output signal from the amplifying circuit. The signal processing circuit corrects an error of the output signal based on a value obtained by multiplying a difference between the first wiring resistance value and a processor wiring resistance value by the output error sensitivity data.
