Patent ID: 7714893

Claim:
An image stabilization mechanism for moving one of a movable lens and an image sensor in first and second directions perpendicular to one of a light axis of the movable lens and an incident light axis of the image sensor, comprising: a support member for supporting one of the movable lens and the image sensor; a base member; a guide shaft secured to the base member and extending in the first direction, the guide shaft passing through an elongate hole formed in the support member and being disposed in the elongate hole in a slidable manner in the first and second directions; an anti-rolling member fitted into the guide shaft in a slidable manner in an axis direction of the guide shaft, the anti-rolling member being engaged with the support member in a slidable manner in the second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction so as to prevent rolling of the support member about one of the light axis and the incident light axis; and two driving units configured to move the support member independently in the first direction and the second direction.
