Image capture device and image processing method for prioritizing tilt or rotational shake correction according to shooting situation

摘要

An image capture device includes: an image capturing section configured to capture a subject image and to generate an image; an acceleration sensor configured to detect acceleration; a controller configured to set, according to a result of detection obtained by the acceleration sensor, a reference angle for the device's own tilt when a predetermined instruction is issued; and an image processing section configured to rotate the generated image by using the set reference angle as a reference for tilt correction processing.
