Abstract

A camera includes an aperture stop or lens shutter mechanism unit, a base on which the mechanism unit is mounted, a shake correction lens juxtaposed with a photographing lens in an optical axis direction, and a driving unit for moving the shake correction lens in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis direction, and the driving unit is arranged on the base. The shake correction operation is preferably started at a time between the completion of a focusing operation and the start of an exposure operation.
