Patent ID: 7424212

Claim:
A method of correcting camera shaking which, in an image pickup device outputting image data corresponding to an image of a subject of photographing which is imaged by a lens on an image pickup element of the device, corrects, by movement of a lens, tilting of an optical axis due to shaking of a housing of the device, the method comprising: detecting, at a predetermined control time interval, an angular velocity at a time when shaking of the housing arises; on the basis of a time integrated value of the detected angular velocity, setting an amount of movement of the lens which compensates the tilting of the optical axis due to shaking of the housing, the setting including adding an addition value, which is based on a difference between a time integrated value of the current time and a time integrated value of a previous time and on a delay coefficient set from a phase delay and the control time, to the time integrated value of the current time; and moving the lens on the basis of a control value obtained from results of the adding.
