Patent ID: 8625022

Claim:
An image blur correction apparatus comprising: a fixed member; a first driven unit pivotally supported by the fixed member around a first support shaft extending in a direction parallel to an optical axis direction; a second driven unit holding a lens or an imaging device and pivotally supported by the first driven unit around a second support shaft extending in the direction parallel to the optical axis direction; a first actuator that pivots the first and second driven units around the first support shaft; and a second actuator that pivots the second driven unit around the second support shaft, wherein when a first line is defined as a line extending in a direction determined by connecting the center of the first support shaft to the center of the second support shaft, and a second line is defined as a line extending in a direction determined by connecting the center of the second support shaft to the center of the lens or the imaging device, the first line and the second line are perpendicular to each other, and a substantially central portion of the first actuator and a substantially central portion of the second actuator are present on the first or second line.
