To attain effective camera-shake correction in the case of employing a CMOS solid-state image pickup device.
The solid-state image pickup device is provided with a plurality of unit cells that are arranged two-dimensionally in row and column directions and has a photoelectric conversion section that produces changes in response to an incident luminous quantity, an image section 11 that has a plurality of vertical signal lines from which electric signals corresponding to the signal charges stored in each photoelectric conversion section provided corresponding to a plurality of the unit cells arranged in the column direction, a camera-shake information acquisition means that acquires camera-shake information in the case of photographing, an area specification means that specifies a prescribed region of the image section based on the camera-shake information acquired by the camera-shake information acquisition means, and control means 12, 15 that selectively read an electric signal from each unit cell included in the region specified by the region specification means to the vertical signal line.
