Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent an image to be viewed from trailing unnaturally even if optical equipment is shaken large owing to framing operation etc.  <P>SOLUTION: Angular speed data of a correction optical system are computed on the basis of the output of an angular speed sensor (S500). When the current position of a correction optical system is in a circumferential area and the angular speed data is larger than the maximum speed of a stepping motor driving the correction optical system and indicates a direction of leaving the circumferential area, the angular speed data is so corrected that the correction optical system is driven at the maximum speed (S508). When the current position of the correction optical system is in the circumferential area and the angular speed data is larger than the maximum speed of the stepping motor and indicates an approaching direction to the circumferential area, the angular speed data is so corrected (S510) that the correction optical system is driven toward the center at a speed slower than the maximum speed of the stepping motor. When the current position of the correction optical system is in a center area, the angular speed data is so corrected (S512) that the correction optical system stops at the position.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
