Abstract:
1. A digital camera including at least a first imaging unit and a second imaging unit, the first and second imaging units capturing images having parallax, the digital camera comprising: A. the first imaging unit including: B. the second imaging unit including: C. a camera shake detector for detecting the camera shake; and D. a controller for controlling actuation of the first and second shifters such that each of the first and second shifters responds to a signal from the camera shake detector when the first corrector moves from the first reference position and the second corrector moves from the second reference position, and such that the first and second correctors simultaneously reach the first and second reference positions, respectively, in returning, wherein the first imaging unit further includes a first position detector for detecting a position of the first corrector, and the second imaging unit further includes a second position detector for detecting a position of the second corrector, and wherein the controller calculates reference paths for the first and second correctors, through which positions, moving speeds, and acceleration of the first and second correctors are continuous from the start until the completion of the return, based on the positions of the first and second correctors at the start of the return, and the controller controls the actuation of the first and second shifters based on the calculated reference paths.
