Patent ID: 8786715

Claim:
A digital camera comprising: a shutter-signal generating unit which outputs a first shutter signal corresponding to a start of a focusing operation, and a second shutter signal corresponding to a start of a photographing operation; and a digital signal processor which performs a centering operation of a compensation lens in response to the first shutter signal so that the optical center of the compensation lens coincides with the central optical axis of incident light, and which performs a compensation operation of the compensation lens for compensating for a camera shake in response to the second shutter signal, wherein the focusing operation is performed in response to the first shutter signal and after the centering operation is performed, while the compensation lens is held at a centered position, and the focusing operation is performed before the compensation operation is performed, and wherein in the compensation operation, a target position for offsetting a detected camera shake is calculated, and the compensation lens is controlled to trace the target position.
