Abstract
An image shake correcting apparatus includes a movable member configured to hold an image shake correcting member; a fixed member configured to hold the movable member so as to be movable along a spherical surface centering on a rotational center point; and an electromagnetic drive unit configured to have a magnet and a coil provided in portions that are mutually opposed in the movable member and the fixed member, wherein the magnet and the coil are disposed with inclination from a direction perpendicular to an optical axis so that a direction of drive force that is generated when the coil is energized approximately conforms to a tangential direction of a spherical surface centering on the rotational center point.
