Abstract:
1. An image blur correction device for correcting the blur of an image caused by movement of a camera, comprising: a lens support member to which a correction lens included in the optical system of the camera is fixed; a first support member that supports the lens support member to be movable in one direction selected from among a linear direction that is any direction within a plane perpendicularly intersecting the optical axis of light incident on the correction lens, and a rotational direction that follows an arc whose center is a rotational axis substantially parallel to the optical axis within the plane; a second support member that supports the first support member to be movable in the other direction selected from among the linear and rotational directions; a drive unit for linearly driving that imparts a driving force to the lens support member in order to drive the lens support member in the linear direction; and a drive unit for rotationally driving that imparts a driving force to the lens support member in order to drive the lens support member in the rotational direction.
