Abstract:
An image vibration compensating apparatus comprising:a vibration detection means for detecting a vibration causing an image vibration and outputting an signal in accordance with the vibration; a panning and tilting detection means for detecting a start and a stop of intentional panning or tilting; a computing means for subtracting a value for canceling the output signal of said vibration detection means resulting from the intentional panning or tilting from the output signal of said vibration detection means during a period between detection of the start of the intentional panning or tilting and detection of the stop of the intentional panning or tilting by said panning and tilting detection means in a period at least including the instant of the stop of the intentional panning or tilting, for subtracting a value for canceling the output signal of said vibration detection means from the output signal of said vibration detection means in a period after the detection of the stop of the intentional panning or tilting by said panning and tilting detection means and for outputting the output signal of said vibration detection means intact in any other period; and a compensation means for compensating the image vibration based on the output signal of said computing means.
