Abstract
A shake correcting apparatus for a camera includes a shake detector for detecting a shake state of a camera, a shake correcting section for executing shake correction based on a detection result from the shake detector, and a shake correction driving section for driving the shake correcting section. A relative position detector detects a relative position state of the shake correcting section, and an end position detector detects an end position state of the shake correction section. A discriminator discriminates at least one of an operational status of a camera and history data of shake correction driving. An initial position of shake correction for initialization of the shake correcting section is set based on the detection result from the relative position detector. A driving mode of driving of the shake correcting section to the set initial position is changed based on a discrimination result from the discriminator. Initial-position setting sections may be provided for setting an initial position of the shake correcting section.
