Abstract:
1. An image taking device for taking an image of an object, comprising: a bending optical system for forming the image thereof on a light receiving surface, in which the bending optical system includes at least one optical bending member which generally perpendicularly bends an optical axis of the bending optical system from the object to the light receiving surface; a driving mechanism for driving the at least one optical bending member so as to change an angle of the optical axis having been bent by the at least one optical bending member; a shake detector for detecting a shake of a body of the image taking device; and a controller for controlling the driving mechanism on a basis of the shake of the body of the image taking device detected by the shake detector, so that the at least one optical bending member is driven by the driving mechanism so as to cancel the shake of the image of the object formed on the light receiving surface; wherein the at least one optical bending member driven by the driving mechanism and the driving mechanism are mounted on a moving unit, and wherein the moving unit is movably mounted by a position adjuster which is located behind the moving unit.
