Patent ID: 7868918

Claim:
An image stabilization control circuit, connected to a plurality of vibration detecting elements for detecting vibration of an image pickup apparatus with respect to each of at least two axis directions, and a plurality of position detecting elements for detecting a position of an optical component with respect to each of at least two axis directions, comprising: an analog/digital converter circuit for converting output signals of the plurality of vibration detecting elements and the plurality of position detecting elements to digital signals; and a logic circuit for generating a control signal for driving the optical component based on the output signals of the plurality of vibration detecting elements and the plurality of position detecting elements digitalized by the analog/digital converter circuit, wherein each of a plurality of axis directions in which the plurality of vibration detecting elements detect vibration corresponds to each of a plurality of axis directions in which the plurality of position detecting elements detect a position of the optical component, the analog/digital converter circuit digitalizes and outputs the output signal of the plurality of vibration detecting elements with respect to one of the axis directions, and successively digitalizes and outputs the output signal of the plurality of position detecting elements with respect to an axis direction corresponding to the one of the axis directions, and the optical component of the image pickup apparatus is driven in response to the vibration to reduce an influence of the vibration on image picking up.
