Abstract

An image-taking device is capable of effectively utilizing a shake correcting section and thereby shooting an image with little blur. The image-taking device includes: an angular rate sensor which detects a shake; a shift lens which travels within a predetermined moving range to correct the shake; a shift lens driving section which pulls the shift lens, which has moved to a biased position from a predetermined center, back to the center; a central processing unit which calculates a correction effect for the shake; and a liquid crystal monitor. The central processing unit calculates the correction effect based on a distance between the position of the moved shift lens and the center, and displays the correction effect on the liquid crystal monitor.
