A camera anti-shaking device has an optical shake detection device which uses an optical sensor and a mechanical shake detection device which uses a mechanical sensor, and selectively uses the outputs of both detection devices in accordance with a situation to compensate the shake. The anti-shake device includes shake compensation means for compensating the shake in response to the output from the shake detection device, and shake calculation output switching means for selecting the output produced by the mechanical sensor for supplying it to the shake compensation means when the detection of the shake is not attainable by the optical sensor.
