Abstract
An image vibration compensating apparatus is provided for properly compensating image vibrations while suppressing unnatural image vibrations after completion of intentional panning and tilting. A-D conversion is performed on an output signal of an X-direction gyro sensor and low frequency components are removed from the signal. The signal is then integrated at an integrator to be angle signal Ex. A panning detector detects a start and a stop of intentional panning from angle signal Ex. A subtraction value generator generates a value for canceling angle signal Ex resulting from the intentional panning. An angle control signal computing section cancels angle signal Ex resulting from the intentional panning with the value and outputs angle control signal V . An image vibration in the direction of panning is compensated based on angle control signal V .
