Abstract

A control apparatus for image blur prevention includes a ontroller, which uses an output from at least one of first and second image blur detection portions (e.g., a mechanical sensor and an electrical sensor) having different image blur detection frequency characteristics, in accordance with the frequency of an image blur, whereby the two detection portions compensate for each other, and image blur prevention can be more precisely performed for image blurs in a wider frequency range.
