Patent ID: 7113204

Claim:
An image sensing apparatus capable of optically correcting blur of an object image by an optical blur correction unit, comprising: an image sensing unit for converting an optical image of an object into image signals; a display unit for displaying image signals converted by said image sensing unit; a display ON/OFF switch unit for switching between ON/OFF states for displaying the image signals on said display unit when the image sensing apparatus is ON and in an image sensing mode; a control unit for changing an operational state of said optical blur correction unit depending upon the switching between the ON/OFF states for displaying by said display ON/OFF switch unit; and an operation unit for designating start of photographing, wherein said control unit activates said optical blur correction unit in response to the switching to the ON state by said display ON/OFF switch unit, and deactivates said optical blur correction unit in response to the switching to the OFF state by said display ON/OFF switchi unit, wherein said optical blur correction unit is activated, after said operation unit is activated, in response to the switching to the OFF state by said display ON/OFF switch unit, and wherein said operation unit designates preparation for photographing in response to an operation of a first stage and designates start of photographing in response to an operation of a second stage.
