Abstract:
1. An imaging devices, comprising: an image-shake detector for detecting a direction and magnitude of an amount of vibration applied to a photographing optical system; first and second movable frames, each for supporting a common image-stabilizing optical element, which constitutes a part of said photographing optical system, so as to be movable in two directions different from each other in a plane orthogonal to a common optical axis of said photographing optical system; first and second biasing devices for biasing said first and second movable frames, respectively, in the respective moving directions thereof; first and second stopper devices for determining movement extremities of said first and second movable frames, respectively, in respective biasing directions of said first and second biasing devices; and a driving device for counteracting image shake by driving said first and second stopper devices in accordance with an output of said image-shake detector to thereby move said first and second movable frames, respectively, wherein said driving device comprises:
