Patent ID: 7970266

Claim:
A camera, comprising: an imaging optical system configured to form an optical image of a subject; an imaging element configured to convert the optical image of the subject into an image signal; a housing; an image blur corrector configured to correct image blur caused by movement of the housing; a displacement acquisition section configured to acquire the amount of displacement of the housing; a rotary driver configured to rotationally drive the displacement acquisition section with respect to the housing; a correction computer configured to calculate a first correction amount at the image blur corrector from the displacement amount acquired by the displacement acquisition section; and a drive controller configured to control the operation of the rotary driver, and configured to control the operation of the image blur corrector on the basis of the first correction amount; wherein: the displacement acquisition section overlaps the rotational axis of the rotary driver when viewed along the optical axis of the imaging optical system; the detection center of the displacement acquisition section substantially coincides with the rotational axis of the rotary driver when viewed along the optical axis; the rotary driver has a rotor to which the imaging in element and the displacement acquisition section are integrally rotatably provided and a rotation actuator configured to drive the rotor with respect to the housing; the imaging element is on the imaging optical system side of the rotor; and the displacement acquisition section is disposed on the opposite side of the rotor from the imaging element and along the optical axis when viewed from the optical axis of the imaging optical system.
