Abstract
A shake discriminator comprising a first shake detection means disposed in a camera system to shoot a subject and serving to detect a shake of the camera system; a second shake detection means disposed in the camera system and serving to detect a shake of a cameraman's face with regard to the camera system; and a shake discrimination means for making a discrimination, on the basis of the detection outputs of the first and second shake detection means, as to whether the shake of the camera system is the one intended by the cameraman. Due to such discrimination, it becomes possible to prevent an erroneous correction which may otherwise be executed when the shake of the camera system is the one intended by the cameraman.
