Abstract
A control apparatus includes a selection unit that selects a drive mode for first and second correction units based on a focal length, and a control unit that drives the correction units in the selected mode. The first correction unit moves an optical element. The second correction unit moves a sensor. The selection unit selects a first mode if the focal length is a first value, and selects a second mode if the focal length is a second value larger than the first value. With the first mode selected, if a shake amount is a threshold or less, the first correction unit is driven based on the shake amount, and if the shake amount is larger than the threshold, the correction units are driven based on the shake amount. With the second mode selected, the correction units are driven based on the shake amount and a drive ratio.
