Abstract:
A vibration correcting device comprising:first vibration correction amount output means for obtaining a vibration correction amount from the vibration amount of the device; second vibration correction amount output means for obtaining a vibration correction amount from the vibration amount of a picked-up image obtained by picking up an object image with image pickup means through an optical system; single correction means for correcting the vibration in the picked-up image, based on a combined output of said first and second vibration correction amount output means; and control means for respectively controlling the outputs of said first and second vibration correction amount output means, based on the outputs of said first and second vibration correction amount output means, wherein said control means limits each of the increases in the vibration correction amounts, output from said first and second vibration correction amount output means, and wherein said control means comprises comparison means for comparing the outputs of said first and second vibration correction amount output means, and varies the proportion of limitation on the increases in the vibration correction amounts, based on the result of comparison by said comparison means.
