Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed, which includes an image sensor, an optics for forming an image on the image sensor, a detector for detecting a movement effect caused by an external source aimed to the device in connection with an imaging procedure and an optical image stabilizer unit arranged to actuate at least part of the said optics in order to compensate the detected movement effect caused by the external source. The actuation of the said optics is based on deformations arranged to take place in the optical image stabilizer unit. In addition the invention also relates to corresponding method, optical image stabilizer unit and program product for actuating the said unit.
