Abstract:
1. An image stabilizing apparatus, including: a rotation shake detection unit arranged to detect a rotation shake generated in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the image stabilizing apparatus; a first processing unit arranged to process a detection signal of the rotation shake into a first correction amount; a parallel shake detection unit arranged to detect a parallel shake generated in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the image stabilizing apparatus; a second processing unit arranged to process a detection signal of the parallel shake into a second correction amount; a shake correction unit arranged to correct an image shake generated on an image plane of an image pickup apparatus based on the first correction amount and the second correction amount; an initialization unit arranged to initialize the second correction amount; and a control unit arranged to instruct the initialization unit to initialize, based on an image pickup start instruction of the image pickup apparatus, prior to a photographing operation, the second correction amount to move the shake correction unit.
