Abstract
An anti-shake apparatus (an image-stabilization apparatus) of a photographing device comprises a movable unit and a controller. The movable unit has an imaging device and is movable and rotatable for an anti-shake operation. The controller controls the movable unit for the anti-shake operation. The controller calculates a hand-shake angle caused by roll. The controller controls whether the anti-shake operation is performed for correcting hand-shake caused by roll, on the basis of the hand-shake angle caused by roll.
