Abstract
An image blur correction device capable of reducing its size in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis. A holding frame holding an image capture device is held movable in an X-axis direction, a Y-axis direction, and a rotational direction about an axis extending in a Z-axis direction. A first guide member, a second guide member, and a third guide member guide the holding frame in the X-axis direction, Y direction-axis, and in the rotational direction, respectively. A first vibration actuator drives the first guide member, a second vibration actuator drives the second guide member, and a third vibration actuator drives the third guide member. The third vibration actuator is arranged at a location more remote from the rotation center of the third guide member than at least one of the first and second vibration actuators, as viewed from the Z-axis direction.
