Abstract

A camera has an image stabilizing function which is provided with vibration correcting means for driving an imaging system in at least two non-parallel directions and correcting the vibration of an image, and control means for selecting one of the directions in which the imaging system is driven by the vibration correcting means and controlling the vibration correcting means so that only the action of the vibration correcting means in that direction is singly stopped or that the imaging system is driven at a desired speed only in that direction.
