An image blur compensation device for use with an image capture device including an imaging optical system and an imaging unit which converts a subject image captured on a light receiving surface thereof through the imaging optical system into an image signal. The compensation device includes a variable mirror which is provided on the optical axis of the imaging optical system and which has a displaceable reflective surface and an electrode to control the displacement of the reflective surface. A drive unit supplies the electrode with a drive signal to displace the reflective surface. And a compensation unit produces correction information to correct the drive signal.

Image blur compensation device

A size sensor detects a standard-size printing medium or a panorama-size printing medium. An image processing section selects image data for an area to be printed from the image data according to the detected size of the printing medium and subjects the image data in the printing area to an image process, such as enlargement, according to the size of the printing medium. A printer prints the processed image data on the printing medium.
