Abstract
A camera vibration correction apparatus for use with a zooming camera. The correction apparatus includes: a group of correcting lenses for correcting blurring of an image; a camera vibration detector that detects magnitude and directions of a camera vibration; a CPU for computing a correcting movement value on the basis of the detected vibration; driving motors for moving the correcting lenses on the basis of the correcting movement value; and a zoom detector that senses movement values of a group of movable lenses within the group of photographic lenses. The CPU activates the driving motors, allowing correction for vibration, when the zoom detector senses that the camera lenses are in a telescopic region and deactivate the driving motors, preventing correction, when the zoom detector senses that the camera lenses are in a wide angle region. Preferably, if the angle of view becomes more than 10.degree., the correction apparatus is activated, otherwise it is not. The correcting lenses are mounted for rocking movement by a novel mounting structure that is simple and provides stable support.
