Abstract

An image stabilizer includes a first optical corrector moving along a direction different from an optical axis to correct an image shake, a second optical corrector moving along a direction different from the optical axis to correct an image shake, a controller moving at least one of the first and second optical correctors to correct an image shake, and a first position detector detecting information about a movement position of the first optical corrector. The controller performs image shake correction of the first optical corrector without image shake correction of the second optical corrector when the information about the movement position of the first optical corrector is equal to or less than a predetermined value, and performs image shake correction of the second optical corrector when the information about the movement position of the first optical corrector is more than the predetermined value.
