1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- an image pickup unit which obtains image data from a subject image formed by an optical system;
a vibration detecting unit which detects a vibration of the image pickup apparatus;
an image restorative function calculating unit which calculates an image restorative function from a vibration detecting signal of a time series output from the vibration detecting unit in an exposure period of the image pickup unit;
an image restoration unit which restores the image data deteriorated by the vibration based on the image restorative function output from the image restorative function calculating unit;
a recording mode selection unit to select a first recording mode to record, in a recording medium, the image data which is not subjected to an image restoration process by the image restoration unit and image restoring information corresponding to the image data, and a second recording mode to record the restored image data subjected to the image restoration process by the image restoration unit in the recording medium; and
an image recording controller which records the image data which is not subjected to the image restoration process and the image restoring information in the recording medium in the first recording mode in a case where the first recording mode is selected and which records the restored image data subjected to the image restoration process in the recording medium in the second recording mode in a case where the second recording mode is selected.

Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup unit which obtains image data. A vibration detecting unit detects a vibration. An image restorative function calculating unit calculates an image restorative function. An image restoration unit restores the image data deteriorated by the vibration based on the image restorative function. A recording mode selection unit can select a first recording mode to record the image data which is not subjected to an image restoration process, and image restoring information and a second recording mode to record the image data subjected to the image restoration process. An image recording controller records the image data which is not subjected to the image restoration process in a case where the first recording mode is selected, and the controller records the image data subjected to the image recording process in a case where the second recording mode is selected.
