Abstract
A camera with vibration correcting function is provided with a plurality of vibration detecting devices for detecting the vibration of the camera, a plurality of vibration correcting devices for effecting vibration correction control in conformity with the respective outputs of the vibration detecting devices, and an abnormality detecting device for detecting the abnormality of the output of the vibration detecting devices, and only the vibration correcting device corresponding to the vibration detecting device having the output for which abnormality has been detected by the abnormality detecting device is inhibited from effecting the vibration correction control.
Claims14
A camera having a vibration correcting function, comprising:
- a vibration detecting device to detect vibration of the camera and generate a corresponding output at a constant predetermined sampling time;
- a vibration correcting device to effect vibration correction control in conformity with the output of said vibration detecting device;
- and
- an abnormality detecting device to detect an abnormality of the output of said vibration detecting device at the constant predetermined sampling time,
- wherein when said abnormality detecting device detects abnormality, vibration correction control is inhibited.
A camera having a vibration correcting function, comprising:
- a plurality of vibration detecting devices to detect vibration of the camera and generate an output at a constant predetermined sampling time;
- a plurality of vibration correcting devices to effect vibration correction control in conformity with respective outputs of said plurality of vibration detecting devices;
- and
- an abnormality detecting device to detect an abnormality of the respective outputs at the constant predetermined sampling time;
- wherein one or more of said plurality of vibration correcting devices corresponding to said vibration detecting device output for which abnormality has been detected is inhibited from effecting vibration correction control.
A camera having a vibration correcting function, comprising:
- a photographing operation device to effect a photographing operation of the camera;
- a vibration detecting device to detect vibration of the camera and generate a corresponding output at a constant predetermined sampling time;
- a vibration correcting device to effect vibration correction control in conformity with the output of said vibration detecting device;
- and
- an abnormality detecting device to detect an abnormality of the output of said vibration detecting device at the constant predetermined sampling time;
- wherein when said abnormality detecting device detects the abnormality of the output, said photographing operation device is inhibited from effecting the photographing operation.
A camera having a vibration correction function, comprising:
