Abstract
An apparatus having an image blur correcting function comprises a first unit including an image blur correction apparatus, a second unit rotatable about a first axis differing from a photo-taking optical axis relative to the first unit, a vibration detector provided in the second unit for detecting rotational vibration about the first unit, and a controller for operating the image blur apparatus in conformity with the output of the vibration detector.
Claims19
An apparatus having an image blur correcting function comprising:
- image blur correction means for correcting image blur;
- a first unit including said image blur correction means;
- a second unit rotatable about a first axis differing from a photo-taking optical axis relative to said first unit;
- vibration detection means provided in said second unit for detecting rotational vibration about said first axis;
- and
- control means for operating said image blur correction means in conformity with the output of said vibration detection means.
An apparatus having an image blur correcting function comprising:
