Abstract:
1. An image stabilization control apparatus that includes a compensation member, the apparatus comprising: a first detection unit that detects rotational shakes; a second detection unit that detects translational shakes in the image stabilization control apparatus using a different method than the first detection unit; a rotational shake amount calculation unit that finds a rotational shake amount based on an output of the first detection unit; a correction value calculation unit that calculates a correction value based on outputs from the first and second detection units; a suppression unit that calculates an upper-limit value of the correction value based on the size of an output from at least one of the first and second detection units and suppresses the correction value using the upper-limit value as an upper limit; a translational shake amount calculation unit that calculates a translational shake amount using the output of the first detection unit and the correction value calculated by the correction value calculation unit; and a driving unit that drives the compensation member based on the rotational shake amount and the translational shake amount, wherein the correction value calculation unit calculates the correction value based on the suppressed correction value.
