Abstract
A pair of correction lenses is unitarily held by a holding plate in binoculars. The direction and the amount of the movement of the focused image occurring due to hand tremble while utilizing hand-held binoculars, are detected. The holding plate is driven in the vertical and horizontal directions, so that the direction and the magnitude of the movement of the focused image are canceled by the correction lenses.
