A control apparatus is provided for a camera system that includes an image pickup apparatus including an image sensor and a lens apparatus including an optical system that includes at least one optical member for changing at least one of a tilt effect of tilting a focal plane relative to an imaging plane of the image sensor and a shift effect of moving an imaging range. The control apparatus includes at least one memory that stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor that executes the set of instructions to acquire information on an optical state of the optical system, and correct defocus caused by movement of the at least one optical member using the information on the optical state of the optical system.

Control apparatus that provides in-focus state with a tilt or shift effect, lens apparatus, image pickup apparatus, camera system, control method, and storage medium

An image stabilizing apparatus includes a driver configured to drive an optical system configured to correct an image blur in a direction that includes a component in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis, detectors configured to detect position information on the optical system, and a controller configured to control the driver. The detectors are disposed at a first detecting position and a second detecting position on a plane orthogonal to the optical axis. At the first detecting position, position information in a first detecting direction and position information in a second detecting direction different from the first detecting direction are detected. At the second detecting position, position information in a third detecting direction is detected. At least two of the first to third detecting directions are orthogonal to each other.
