Abstract
When an image is photographed via a plurality of optical members which are disposed along a photographing optical axis, a direction and an amount of shake, which occurs, are detected. An imaging device is moved along a plane perpendicular to the photographing optical axis, on the basis of the detected direction and amount of shake. A position on the photographing optical axis of at least one of the optical members is corrected in accordance with data of the movement.
Claims12
An imaging apparatus comprising:
- photographing means for photographing an image by an imaging device via a plurality of optical members which are disposed along a photographing optical axis;
- shake detection means for detecting a direction and an amount of shake;
- moving means for moving the imaging device along a plane perpendicular to the photographing optical axis based on the direction and the amount of shake detected by the shake detection means;
- and
- correction means for correcting a position along the photographing optical axis of at least one of the optical members of the photographing means, in accordance with data of the movement of the imaging device by the moving means.
A camera-shake correction device provided in an imaging apparatus which photographs an image via a plurality of optical members disposed along a photographing optical axis, the camera-shake correction device comprising:
- shake detection means for detecting a direction and an amount of shake;
- moving means for moving an imaging device, which is included in the imaging apparatus, along a plane perpendicular to the photographing optical axis, based on the direction and the amount of shake detected by the shake detection means;
- and
- correction means for correcting a position along the photographing optical axis of at least one of the plurality of optical members, in accordance with data of the movement of the imaging device by the moving means.
A camera-shake correction method for an imaging apparatus which photographs an image by an imaging device via a plurality of optical members disposed along a photographing optical axis, the method comprising:
- detecting a direction and an amount of shake;
- moving the imaging device along a plane perpendicular to the photographing optical axis based on the detected direction and amount of shake;
- and
- correcting a position along the photographing optical axis of at least one of the plurality of optical members in accordance with data of the movement of the imaging device.
A non-transitory computer readable recording medium having stored thereon a program which is executable by a computer of an imaging apparatus including a photographing unit which photographs an image by an imaging device via a plurality of optical members disposed along a photographing optical axis, wherein the program controls the imaging apparatus to perform functions comprising:
- detecting a direction and an amount of shake;
- moving the imaging device along a plane perpendicular to the photographing optical axis based on the detected direction and amount of shake;
- and
- correcting a position along the photographing optical axis of at least one of the plurality of optical members of the photographing unit, in accordance with data of the movement of the imaging device.
