Claim Text:
1. An image stabilization control apparatus comprising a mechanism which causes a vibration when the mechanism moves, the image stabilization control apparatus comprising: a vibration correction unit configured to correct image shake occurring due to vibration applied to the image stabilization control apparatus; a first vibration detection unit configured to detect the vibration; a second vibration detection unit configured to detect the vibration in a different way from that used by the first vibration detection unit; a calculation unit configured to calculate a correction value based on the output from the first vibration detection unit and the output from the second vibration detection unit; and a correction control unit configured to control the movement of the vibration correction unit, wherein the correction control unit is further configured to, during image capture operations, control the movement of the vibration correction unit based on the output from the first vibration detection unit and the output from the second vibration detection unit that are obtained when the mechanism is moving, wherein, during image capture operations, the correction control unit controls the movement of the vibration correction unit based on the correction value calculated when the mechanism does not move, wherein the vibration correction unit comprises a lens, wherein the first vibration detection unit comprises an angular velocity meter, wherein the second vibration detection unit comprises an accelerometer or a detection sensor of the lens, and wherein a processor is used to implement the calculation unit and the correction control unit.
