A zoom optical system includes a function of preventing blurring of an image due to movements, such as shaking of the zoom optical system, by moving a lens element of the third lens group, in order from the object side, of four lens groups in a direction that is perpendicular to the optical axis in order to correct for movements of the zoom optical system that would otherwise create a blurred image. The second lens group from the object side has negative refractive power and the other three lens groups have positive refractive power. The second and fourth lens groups move along the optical axis during zooming. The zoom optical system satisfies certain conditions related to the configuration of the lens elements and lens groups of the zoom optical system in order to prevent blurring and to provide a compact zoom optical system having excellent correction of aberrations.
