Patent ID: 7756406

Claim:
A photographic apparatus comprising: a camera; an interchangeable camera lens whose optical system is partially or entirely interchangeable; and a lens control unit configured to control the interchangeable camera lens, wherein the camera comprises: a blur signal-outputting unit configured to output a blur signal associated with a vibration applied to the interchangeable camera lens; and a camera control unit configured to control the camera, the interchangeable camera lens comprises: a blur correcting unit configured to displace an image; and an image displacing unit configured to control the blur correcting unit based on the blur signal output from the blur signal-outputting unit so that the blur correcting unit displaces the image so as to cancel a blur of the image, the blur resulting from the vibration applied to the interchangeable camera lens, the canceling of the blur including correcting for the vibration along more than one directional axis, and an amount of the displacement of the image is based on blur signal output from the blur signal-outputting unit, the lens control unit is configured to obtain information on blur correction at the interchangeable camera lens according to a state of the interchangeable camera lens and is configured to transmit the information on blur correction to the camera control unit, wherein the information on blur correction includes information on a maximum correction angle at the time of blur correction at the interchangeable camera lens, and the camera control unit is further configured to control the lens control unit such that no blur correction is performed when an angle of the vibration applied to the interchangeable camera lens is greater than the maximum correcting angle of the interchangeable camera lens.
