To provide an imaging apparatus capable of acquiring an image prevented from being blurred by performing the follow-up control of a subject.SOLUTION: An imaging apparatus 101 includes an apparatus shake detection part 208, an apparatus movement detection part 209, a plurality of rotation units 104 and 105, and a lens barrel rotation drive part 112. The imaging apparatus 101 detects subject information and performs the drive control of the rotation units 104 and 105 on the basis of the detected subject information, to change the imaging direction of an imaging part 205 and perform the follow-up control of the subject and the control of image blur correction. A control part 212 performs the control for calculating followability to the subject and changing one or more of the sensitivity of follow-up and the exposure condition of the imaging part 205 on the basis of at least any of blur information acquired from the followability, drive information in the lens barrel rotation drive part 112, and the shake amount of the imaging apparatus 101.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】被写体の追従制御を行い、像ブレが抑制された画像を取得可能とする撮像装置を提供する。【解決手段】撮像装置１０１は、装置揺れ検出部２０８、装置移動検出部２０９と、複数の回転ユニット１０４，１０５と、鏡筒回転駆動部１１２を備える。撮像装置１０１は被写体情報を検出し、検出された被写体情報に基づいて回転ユニット１０４，１０５の駆動制御を行って撮像部２０５の撮像方向を変更し、被写体の追従制御および像ブレ補正の制御を行う。制御部２１２は、被写体に対する追従度を算出し、追従度から取得されるブレ情報、鏡筒回転駆動部１１２における駆動情報、撮像装置１０１の揺れ量の少なくともいずれかに基づいて、追従の敏感度と撮像部２０５の露出条件のうちの１つ以上を変更する制御を行う。【選択図】 図２
