Patent ID: 7920327

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus comprising: at least one or more vertically movable lens groups among at least three or more lens groups, which constitute a zoom lens, movable in an optical axis direction, the vertically movable lens group being movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis; a zoom lens group among the three or more lens groups, the zoom lens group being movable in the optical axis direction; and a correction mechanism that corrects a position of the optical axis based on the three or more lens groups by moving the vertically movable lens group in a wide-angle end state to a predetermined position in the substantially perpendicular direction, wherein when the vertically movable lens group is moved for the purpose of anti-vibration at each zoom position in the substantially perpendicular direction, the following Conditional Expression (1) is satisfied; 0.7<( Lw+Bw )/ Bt< 1.3, (1) where Lw is an amount of shift for correcting the position of the optical axis, Bw is an amount of shift for anti-vibration in the wide-angle end state, and Bt is an amount of shift for anti-vibration in a telephoto end state.
