Patent ID: 7471886

Claim:
A camera with a shake correction mechanism comprising: an image sensor to capture a light image of an object to be photographed; a shake detector to detect a shake of a main body of the camera; a shake correction unit including a driving section to apply an oscillating force to the image sensor at a side portion thereof to oscillate the image sensor in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the camera; and a control circuit board having electronic components thereon; a connecting member configured to electrically connect the control circuit board and the image sensor, at a portion where the shake correction unit and the control circuit board are arranged in proximity to each other, wherein the shake correction unit and the control circuit board are arranged in proximity to each other on planes substantially identical to each other, and operatively coupled to each other by wiring at adjacent side portions, and wherein the driving section is arranged on a side of a side portion of the image sensor that is opposite from the adjacent side portions so as to minimize a length of the wiring between the image sensor and the control circuit board.
