Claims
- 1. An image stabilization apparatus including:
- (A) correcting optical means for compensating image vibration;
- (B) driving means for driving said correcting optical means; and
- (C) controlling means for controlling the action of said driving means in response to the approach of the driving limit of said correcting optical means.
- 2. An image stabilization apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said controlling means includes velocity decreasing means for decreasing the driving velocity of said driving means in response to the approach of said correcting optical means to a possible displacement limit.
- 3. An image stabilization apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said controlling means includes control means for controlling the driving of said driving means in response to the approach of said correcting optical means to a possible displacement limit so that said correcting optical means is displaced to the middle of a possible displacement zone.
- 4. An image stabilization apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said control means is designed to act slowly and continuously.
- 5. An image stabilization apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said control means includes low frequency range responsive means for acting when the vibration acting thereon is of a low frequency range.
- 6. An image stabilization apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said control means includes inhibiting means for preventing it from acting during the photographing.
- 7. An image stabilization apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said controlling means includes means for controlling the driving acceleration of said driving means in response to the approach of said correcting optical means to the follow-up limit acceleration for said driving means and rendering the driving acceleration of said driving means suppressible within said follow-up limit acceleration.
- 8. An image stabilization apparatus according to claim 5, wherein said low frequency range responsive means includes a first-order low-pass filter.
- 9. A camera including an image stabilization apparatus including:
- (A) correcting optical means for compensating image vibration;
- (B) driving means for driving said correcting optical means; and
- (C) controlling means for controlling the action of said driving means in response to the approach of the driving limit of said correcting optical means.
- 10. A camera according to claim 9, wherein said controlling means includes velocity decreasing means for decreasing the driving velocity of said driving means in response to the approach of said correcting optical means to a possible displacement limit
- 11. A camera according to claim 9, wherein said controlling means includes control means for controlling the driving of said driving means in response to the approach of said correcting optical means to a possible displacement limit so that said correcting optical means is displaced to the middle of a possible displacement zone.
- 12. A camera according to claim 11, wherein said control means is designed to act slowly and continuously.
- 13. A camera according to claim 11, wherein said control means includes low frequency range responsive means for acting when the vibration acting thereon is of a low frequency range.
- 14. A camera according to claim 11, wherein said control means includes inhibiting means for preventing it from acting during the photographing.
- 15. A camera according to claim 9, wherein said controlling means includes means for controlling the driving acceleration of said driving means in response to the approach of said correcting optical means to the follow-up limit acceleration for said driving means and rendering the driving acceleration of said driving means suppressible within said follow-up limit acceleration
- 16. A camera according to claim 13, wherein said low frequency range responsive means includes a first-order low-pass filter.
