Abstract

A slight motion detecting device includes a angular velocity sensor, a low pass filter, a high pass filter, an amplifier, and a CPU. The CPU differentiates an output from the angular velocity sensor so as to obtain an angular acceleration, and determines that a peak of the acceleration is obtained at the time at which the sign of the acceleration is changed, and further, calculates a zero level detection value of the angular velocity, from the peak, thereby the output of the angular velocity sensor is corrected in accordance with the zero level detection value.
