Abstract:
1. A blur correction device, comprising: a first member that is driven along an optical axis of an optical system; a blur correction unit that is held by the first member and that includes a second member and a first drive unit driving the second member within a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the optical system relative to the first member so as to correct an image blur, the second member including: a recording unit that records a reference position regarding the second member on that plane perpendicular to an optical axis; and a control unit that controls a position of the second member within the plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the optical system relative to the first member by the first drive unit during the photographing state so that the reference position coincides with a center position of the blur correction optical system, wherein when the second member is at the reference position, the blur correction optical system contacting the position fix member and the optical system other than the blur correction optical system are aligned.
