Abstract
An image stabilizing device of the present invention includes: a correction lens holding memberto which a correction lens Gincluded in an optical system of a camera is fixed; a lens holding memberthat holds the correction lens holding member so that the correction lens holding member is movable in a rectilinear direction that is an arbitrary direction in a plane orthogonal to an optical axis A of light entering the correction lens Gand in a rotation direction along an arc in the plane about a rotary shaft Asubstantially parallel to the optical axis A; a driving portion for rectilinear movementthat applies a driving force to the correction lens holding memberin order to drive the correction lens holding memberin the rectilinear direction; and a driving portion for rotationthat applies a driving force to the correction lens holding memberin order to drive the correction lens holding memberin the rotation direction. According to this configuration, it is possible to provide an image stabilizing device that achieves miniaturization, while preventing a deterioration in image stabilizing performance, and a camera including the same.
