Shake correction apparatus

A shake correction apparatus comprising:

• a stationary portion on which a plurality of coils are arranged;
• a movable portion that includes a plurality of magnets arranged to be opposed to the coils, and an optical element or an imaging element;
• a supporting member for movably supporting the movable portion with respect to the stationary portion along a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of light entering into the optical element or the imaging element;
• detection means for detecting a position of the movable portion;
• and
• control means for controlling a current to be flowed into the coils based on an output of the detection means,
• wherein the coils include at least three coil pairs when two coils that are arranged to be opposed to each other along the plane orthogonal to the optical axis are paired as one coil pair, and
• wherein in each of the coil pairs, driving forces of two coils forming each of the coil pairs are different from each other.
