The image stabilizer device for a camera system in the present disclosure includes a detection unit that detects an angular speed of the camera system, and outputs a shake signal associated with the detected angular speed, an acquiring unit that acquires information indicating a set shutter speed, an adjusting unit that advances a phase of the shake signal to generate an adjusted signal, and outputs the adjusted signal, when the set shutter speed is faster than a predetermined speed, and a correction unit that corrects an influence on an output of the image stabilizer device due to the shake associated with the angular speed, based on the shake signal or the adjusted signal. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An image stabilizer device for a camera system comprising: a detection unit configured to detect an angular speed of the camera system and output a shake signal associated with the detected angular speed; an acquiring unit configured to acquire information indicating a set shutter speed of the camera system; an adjusting unit configured to advance a phase of the shake signal to generate an adjusted signal, and to output the adjusted signal, when the set shutter speed is faster than a predetermined speed; and a correction unit configured to correct an influence on an output of the image stabilizer device due to a shake associated with the angular speed, based on the shake signal or the adjusted signal. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The image stabilizer device according to claim 1, wherein the shake signal is a signal undergoing a process of allowing a signal, generated based on the angular speed detected by the detection unit, to pass through a low-pass filter through which an attenuation amount of a frequency component higher than a predetermined cutoff frequency becomes larger than an attenuation amount of a frequency component lower than the predetermined cutoff frequency. ### Claim 3 An interchangeable lens detachable from a camera body to which an interchangeable lens is attached, the interchangeable lens comprising: a gyro sensor configured to detect an angular speed of the interchangeable lens and output a shake signal associated with the detected angular speed; a lens mount configured to acquire information indicating a set shutter speed from the camera body; a filter configured to advance a phase of the shake signal to generate an adjusted signal, and to output the adjusted signal, when the set shutter speed is faster than a predetermined speed; a correction lens movable in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the interchangeable lens; and a lens controller configured to correct an influence on an output of the interchangeable lens due to a shake associated with the angular speed, based on the shake signal or the adjusted signal. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The interchangeable lens according to claim 3, wherein the shake signal is a signal having undergone a process of allowing a signal, generated based on the angular speed detected by the gyro sensor, to pass through a low-pass filter through which an attenuation amount of a frequency component higher than a predetermined cutoff frequency becomes larger than an attenuation amount of a frequency component lower than the predetermined cutoff frequency. ### Claim 5 A camera system comprising: a camera body to which an interchangeable lens is attached; and an interchangeable lens detachable from the camera body, wherein the camera body including: a body mount configured to communicate with the interchangeable lens; a shutter configured to include a frame having an opening, and a curtain held by the frame, the curtain moving in a direction of opening the opening and in a direction of closing the opening; and a setting unit configured to set a shutter speed of the shutter, and the interchangeable lens includes: a lens mount configured to communicate with the camera body through the body mount, and to acquire information indicating a shutter speed set to the camera body; a gyro sensor configured to detect an angular speed of the interchangeable lens and output a shake signal associated with the detected angular speed; a filter configured to advance a phase of the shake signal to generate an adjusted signal, and to output the adjusted signal, when the set shutter speed is faster than a predetermined speed; a correction lens movable in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the interchangeable lens; and a lens controller configured to correct an influence on an output of the interchangeable lens due to a shake associated with the angular speed, based on the shake signal or the adjusted signal.
