1. An imaging apparatus comprising:
an image sensor that captures a subject image via an optical system;
a detector that detects a shake amount of the imaging apparatus;
a calculation circuitry that performs a calculation for image stabilization, based on the shake amount detected by the detector; and
an image stabilizer that performs the image stabilization by translational movement and rotational movement within a predetermined movable range of the image sensor, based on a result of the calculation by the calculation circuitry,
wherein the calculation circuitry changes a first maximum amount and a second maximum amount within the movable range, according to a result of successively calculating a shake correction amount, the first maximum amount allowing a first movement that is one of the translational movement and the rotational movement, the second maximum amount allowing a second movement that is the other of the translational movement and the rotational movement.
