1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
- image pickup means for converting an optical image picked up into an electrical signal;
image information storage means for storing image information obtained by said image pickup means;
detection means for detecting an amplitude of vibration of the image pickup means;
prediction means for predicting when the amplitude of vibration of the image pickup means falls within a predetermined allowable range, on the basis of a detection result of said detection means; and
control means for controlling a start of image pickup operation of said image pickup means on the basis of a prediction result of said prediction means.

Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes an image pickup element, a memory for storing a digital signal obtained by converting image information output from the image pickup element by an A/D converter, a displacement detection unit for detecting the position displacement of a camera, and a control unit for controlling the write timing of an image in the memory by predicting a release time at which the position displacement detected by the displacement detection unit falls within a predetermined allowable range.
