| 1. A camera with which a moving picture can be taken by panning the camera, comprising:
a detection unit that detects actual camera panning speed characteristics;
a calculation unit that calculates a speed characteristics difference between the actual panning speed characteristics and
reference panning speed characteristics; and
a correction unit that executes correction so as to adjust panning speed characteristics of a moving picture to be obtained
closer to the reference panning speed characteristics based upon the speed characteristics difference having been calculated,
wherein
the correction unit comprises a cropping unit that crops a part of each frame of the moving picture to create a new frame,
and executes a correction so as to adjust panning speed characteristics of a moving picture to be obtained closer to the reference
panning speed characteristics by altering a position at which the picture is to be cropped by the cropping unit based on the
speed characteristics difference calculated by the calculating unit.
