Patent ID: 8860827

Claim:
A lens apparatus comprising: a magnification-varying lens unit configured to move in an optical axis direction during varying magnification; an image stabilization lens unit configured to move in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis; an image stabilization driving unit configured to drive the image stabilization lens unit; a storage unit that stores a correction shift amount, which is a movement amount for driving the image stabilization lens unit to reduce a positional deviation of an object image formed at one predetermined point on an image plane, the positional deviation being caused by a movement of the magnification-varying lens unit, and the correction shift amount being obtained by detecting at least two magnification-varying positions; a camera information inputting unit configured to input identification information of an image pickup apparatus to be connected; a camera information storing unit that stores the identification information input by the camera information inputting unit and the correction shift amount of the image stabilization lens unit corresponding to the identification information; and an image stabilization controller configured to: control the driving of the image stabilization lens unit by the image stabilization driving unit to reduce the positional deviation based on the correction shift amount stored in the storage unit; and select the correction shift amount of the image stabilization lens unit corresponding to the identification information input by the camera information inputting unit, and move a position of the image stabilization lens unit based on the correction shift amount.
