PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide image stabilization to a handheld device equipped with a microcamera module. SOLUTION: In this method and handheld device for stabilizing an image captured by the optical lens of a microcamera integral with a handheld device which may, for example, be a mobile telephone, a motion sensor senses the motion of the device, and is used to cause the movement of the microcamera to substantially compensate for the sensed movement so as to maintain a steady focused image to be displayed by a display on the handheld device or elsewhere such as a remote display. The microcamera is moved by one or more motion actuators which move the camera in a horizontal plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of the lens of the camera and/or move the camera so as to pivot the lens axis.
