Abstract
A camera shake corrector includes: a first moving member that holds an image sensor or a prescribed lens and is capable of moving in a first direction; a first motor that moves the first moving member; a second moving member that holds the first moving member and is capable of moving in a second direction that is different from the first direction; a second motor that moves a second moving member; a single detecting member; and a section to be detected by the single detecting member, which is formed on the first moving member. Initial positions of the first moving member and the second moving member are detected by the section to be detected and the single detecting member.
Claims5
A camera shake corrector comprising:
- (a) a first moving member that holds an image sensor or a prescribed lens and is capable of moving in a first direction;
- (b) a first motor that moves the first moving member;
- (c) a second moving member that holds the first moving member and is capable of moving in a second direction that is different from the first direction;
- (d) a second motor that moves a second moving member;
- (e) a single detecting member;
- and
- (f) a section to be detected by the single detecting member, which is formed on the first moving member,
- wherein a first initial position of the first moving member is detected by moving the first moving motor, in which an output of the single detecting member becomes a first prescribed amount, and a second initial position of the second moving member is detected by moving the second moving motor, in which the output of the single detecting member becomes a second prescribed amount.
