Claim:
An image blur compensation device for use with an image capture device including an imaging optical system and imaging means for converting a subject image captured on a light receiving surface thereof through the imaging optical system into an image signal, comprising: a variable mirror which is provided on an optical axis of the imaging optical system and which comprises a displaceable reflective surface and at least one electrode to control displacement of the reflective surface; drive means for supplying the electrode with a drive signal to displace the reflective surface; correction means for producing correction information to correct the drive signal; and displaced state information producing means for producing information concerning a displaced state of the reflective surface and supplying the information to the correction means; wherein the displaced state information producing means produces the information concerning the displaced state based on a predetermined image different from the subject image captured on the imaging means; and wherein the predetermined image is an image of at least one mark formed on the reflective surface of the variable mirror.
