Abstract

An image capturing device and a blurring correction method in which an imaging unit or a blurring correction optical system is driven to correct blurring in response to an output of a vibration detecting sensor. In such blurring correction, when a driving mechanism has a frictionally connected section, the blurring correction impairs an image at a time when an impact is generated. Therefore, an impact detecting section is disposed, and the blurring correction is not performed when the impact detecting section detects the impact.
