Patent ID: 8089517

Claim:
An image stabilization control circuit for obtaining from a vibration-detection element provided to an image-capturing device a vibration-detection signal corresponding to a movement speed of the image-capturing device, and for driving an image stabilization mechanism of the image-capturing device, the image stabilization control circuit comprising: a vibration-compensating signal generator circuit for performing an integration process on the vibration-detection signal and generating a vibration-compensating signal corresponding to the magnitude of displacement of the image-capturing device; and a servo circuit for generating, on the basis of the vibration-compensating signal, a drive signal for driving the image stabilization mechanism; wherein the vibration-compensating signal generator circuit has: a high-pass filter for damping a low-frequency component from the vibration-detection signal, and transmitting a vibration component in a target compensation region; an integration circuit for performing the integration process on the vibration-detection signal that has passed through the high-pass filter; and a phase lead compensation circuit for performing phase lead compensation on a phase delay generated on a high-frequency side of the vibration-detection signal due to a characteristic of the vibration-detection element wherein the phase lead compensation circuit is configured to compensate for an increase in the phase delay beyond 90 degrees on the high-frequency side of a target compensation region.
