Abstract
An image stabilizing apparatus for film and video cameras includes a lens aperture positioned adjacent the camera lens, such that image light of a scene passes through the lens and the lens aperture to an imaging plane. A motion sensor, mounted to the camera, generates signals indicative of spurious camera motion, which are utilize to produce movements of the lens aperture transversely to the lens axis in directions opposite to spurious camera motions, thereby to stabilize scene images focussed on the imaging plane.
