The first shaking detector detects a camera shaking corresponding to one axis of a camera coordinate system. The second shaking detector detects a camera shaking corresponding to another axis of the camera coordinate system. The correcting device only adjusts a device corresponding to the first shaking detector in an optical system when a maximum or minimum value is detected on the output signal from the second shaking detector.Field of SearchCamera image stabilizationMechanical motion detection (gyros, accelerometers, etc.) Motion correction Including both electrical and mechanical correcting devices Combined with other camera operations (e.g., autofocus or autoexposure details) Warning/indicator Changing camera function based on motion detection (mode, power supply) Having stabilizing (e.g., gyroscope, etc.) | |
