Abstract
A camera provided with camera-shake compensation functionality that comprises a camera-shake detector, a photographing mode selector, an adjuster, and an anti-shake mechanism. The camera-shake detector detects a quantity of shake of the camera. The photographing mode selector is used to select a photographing mode. The adjuster adjusts output signals from the camera-shake detector, in accordance with the photographing mode selected by the photographing mode selector. The anti-shake mechanism compensates for a camera-shake to be counteracted, based on the output signals adjusted by the adjuster.
