Abstract:
1. A camera with shake correction mechanism, comprising: an image pickup device for converting an optical image of an object formed by a taking lens, into an electrical image signal; a shake detecting device for detecting a shake exerted to a camera body; a shake correction unit having a driving section configured to exert a swing force for swinging the image pickup device in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the taking lens; a control board on which electronic components are mounted; and a flexible wiring member for electrically and directly connecting the shake correction unit to the control board, wherein the shake correction unit and the control board are arranged close to each other in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis without overlapping in the optical axis direction, and wherein the flexible wiring member has a deformable part, wherein the deformable part extends along the optical axis direction in a loop-like configuration in a space between the shake correction unit and the control board.
