Patent ID: 7783179

Claim:
An image blur correction apparatus, comprising: a moving frame which holds an image receiving element via an inner surface; a support frame which movably supports the moving frame through a move guide on a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of the image receiving element; a first electric actuator which generates a first force to move the moving frame in a first direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the image receiving element; a second electric actuator which generates a second force to move the moving frame in a second direction which is a direction orthogonal to the optical axis of the image receiving element and is also orthogonal to the first direction; and an operation limit mechanism including a cylinder, the cylinder having at least a portion of its outer surface disposed within a portion of the inner surface of the moving frame, the outer surface of the cylinder limiting the moving frame from moving in the first direction and the second direction, and preventing the moving frame from rotating in a limit position.
