Image blur correcting apparatus for use in camera

Abstract

An image blur correcting apparatus is controlled in accordance with panhead data signals received from a panhead apparatus to save energy while compensating the performance of the panhead apparatus with an image blur correcting function of the image blur correcting apparatus. The panhead apparatus outputs a variety of panhead data signals such as a panhead identification signal representing the type of the panhead apparatus, a signal representing the panning or tilting operation, a signal representing a panning or tilting speed, and a signal representing a panning or tilting position. The image blur correcting apparatus receives the panhead data signals through a signal transmission part, and automatically turns on or off the image blur correcting function and adjusts a sensitivity, in accordance with the performance of the panhead apparatus and the panning/tilting speed and/or positions.
