Patent ID: 8259183

Claim:
A shooting lens for forming an image of a subject on an imaging plane of a camera, the shooting lens comprising: a vibration reduction mechanism for reducing a vibration of the image of the subject; a vibration detecting part which detects a vibration of the camera and outputs a vibration detection signal; an information obtaining part which acquires information on a motion signal obtained by analyzing an image shot with the camera; and a controlling part which controls, using the vibration detection signal, the vibration reduction mechanism to perform feedforward operation and controls, using the motion signal, the vibration reduction mechanism to perform feedback operation, thereby reducing the image vibration; and a center bias part which biases the vibration reduction mechanism to a center position by feeding back displacement of the vibration reduction mechanism from the center position to the control over the vibration reduction mechanism; and wherein the controlling part decreases a feedback gain of the motion signal as a feedback gain of the center bias part increases, and increases the feedback gain of the motion signal as the feedback gain of the center bias part decreases.
