Abstract

An image vibration correcting device has a vibration correcting optical system so movable as to vary an optical axis of a phototaking optical system in order to correct an image vibration resulting from vibration, a drive force generating unit including a magnetic member and a coil, for generating an electromagnetic force for driving the vibration correcting optical system, a substrate bearing a pattern for transmitting an electrical signal, and a support member composed of a conductive elastic material, supporting the vibration correcting optical system and electrically connecting the pattern on the substrate with the coil in the drive force generating unit.
