Abstract
An image blur correction apparatus includes a correction lens for correcting image blurs in a lens system, a moving frame for holding the correction lens, a support frame for movably supporting the moving frame through a move guide on a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of the correction lens, a first electric actuator for generating a first force to move the moving frame in a first direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the correction lens, a second electric actuator for generating a second force to move the moving frame in a second direction which is a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the correction lens and is also orthogonal to the first direction, and an operation limit mechanism for limiting the moving frame from moving in the first direction and the second direction, and preventing the moving frame from rotating in the limit position.
