Shake preventing apparatus in camera

A shake preventing apparatus in a camera, comprising:

• a shake detecting portion which detects an amount of shake upon small motion of the camera;
• a shake correcting portion which correction-drives a photo taking optical system in a direction to keep an image on a plane of a film unshaken, based on the amount of shake detected by said shake detecting portion;
• a shake correction limit determining portion which determines a shake correction limit amount which is a limit for said shake correcting portion to correct the shake;
• a mode setting portion which sets a shake prevention mode to give a priority to shake prevention;
• and
• a shutter controlling portion which controls a shutter to close when said shake prevention mode is set and said amount of shake detected by said shake detecting portion exceeds said shake correction limit amount, and which controls the shutter to close when said shake prevention mode is not set and when a correct exposure amount is reached, irrespective of whether said amount of shake detected by said shake detecting portion exceeds said shake correction limit amount.

• and
• a shutter controlling portion which controls opening and closing of a shutter;
• wherein the correction-driving by said shake correcting portion is stopped when a predetermined time has elapsed after the start of closing of the shutter controlled by said shutter controlling portion, and thereafter operation of said shake detecting portion is stopped operating.

A camera for preventing camera shake comprising:

• a photographing optical system;
• a shake detector which detects an amount of camera shake;
• a shake correcting portion which corrects the camera shake by varying at least a part of said photographing optical system in accordance with a detection output from said shake detector;
• a shutter controller which controls an operation of a shutter;
• and
• a sequence controller which terminates a correction operation of said shake correcting portion after said shutter controller closes the shutter, and thereafter terminates the operation of said shake detector, and thereafter drives said shake correcting portion to reset.

A camera for preventing image shake comprising:

• a flash device operable for radiating flash light;
• an image shake correcting portion;
• a selector for setting a first mode in which said image shake correcting portion is operable and a second mode in which said image shake correcting portion is not operable;
• and
• an inhibiting portion which inhibits the operation of said image shake correcting portion when said selector sets the first mode and said flash device operates.
