This disclosure relates to a technique for smoothly carrying out an acceleration operation and a deceleration operation for a vibration type actuator to prevent a situation where in starting the vibration type actuator, a drive frequency is reduced to become lower than a resonance frequency to stop the vibration type actuator. A first counter performs up-count from a first value to a second value larger than the first value at predetermined time intervals in accelerating the vibration type actuator. A rate multiplier outputs a clock signal having a frequency corresponding to the count value. A second counter measures a period of a pulse signal, the period being adapted to change in correspondence to a drive speed of the vibration type actuator, by counting the clock pulses. The drive speed of the vibration type actuator is controlled such that the measured pulse period becomes a predetermined target value.
