1. An image sensing method comprising:
a vibration detecting step of detecting vibration of an image sensing apparatus main body;
a calculating step of calculating a correction variable based on vibration data indicative of the vibration of the image sensing apparatus main body detected in said vibration detecting step;
a control step of controlling a timing of reading an image signal from an image sensing device based on a calculating result of said calculating step;
an adding step of adding first pixel data in the read image signal to second pixel data neighboring said first pixel data in accordance with a predetermined addition ratio which is determined based on the calculating result of said calculating step, to obtain an interpolated pixel data for an arbitrary position between the neighboring first and second pixel position;
an addition control step of activating said adding step in a moving image recording mode and of inactivating said adding step in a still image recording mode.
