Patent ID: 8885055

Claim:
A camera for capturing moving images furnished with an image-blur prevention function, comprising: an imaging unit for capturing moving images; and a support frame provided with a vibration-isolating support mechanism for supporting the imaging unit; wherein the imaging unit includes: imaging optics; an imaging element for receiving light focused by the imaging optics; and an anti-vibration mechanism for stabilizing images formed on the imaging element; and wherein the anti-vibration mechanism and the vibration-isolating support mechanism are adapted to satisfy the inequality: S a ( f )+ S p ( f )< S 0 , for f>=f 0 where S a (f) denotes the rate in dB of vibration attenuation produced by the anti-vibration mechanism at a frequency f, S p (f) denotes the rate in dB of vibration attenuation produced by the vibration-isolating support mechanism at a frequency f, S 0 denotes a predetermined target dB rate of attenuation, and 2f o denotes a frame rate frequency for moving images captured by the imaging unit.
