IMAGE BLUR CORRECTION DEVICE AND CAMERA

摘要

An image blur correction device and a camera having the image blur correction device. The image blur correction device has a correction lens holding member (405) to which a correction lens (G3) included in the optical system of the camera is fixed, a holding member (408) for holding the correction lens holding member such that the correction lens holding member is movable both in a rectilinear direction that is any direction in a plane orthogonal to the optical axis (A) of light entering the correction lens (G3) and in a rotational direction that is a direction along a circular arc in the plane about a rotation axis (A3) substantially parallel to the optical axis (A), a drive section (412) for rectilinear motion, applying driving force to the correction lens holding member (405) in order to drive the correction lens holding member (405) in the rectilinear direction, and a drive section (413) for rotational motion, applying driving force to the correction lens holding member (405) in order to drive the correction lens holding member (405) in the rotational direction. The construction prevents degradation of image blur correction performance of the image blur correction device and contributes to downsizing of the device.
