An image stabilizing apparatus is disclosed which is capable of
sufficiently correcting shift shakes even with a small and lightweight
accelerometer. The apparatus includes an angular velocity detector which
detects angular velocity generated by a shake, an angular velocity
computing unit which processes an angular velocity signal, the unit
processing the angular velocity signal with a first frequency
characteristic, an acceleration detector which detects acceleration
generated by the shake, an acceleration computing unit which processes an
acceleration signal, the unit processing the acceleration signal with a
second frequency characteristic having a signal processing band narrower
than the first frequency characteristic, an adder which adds an output
signal from the angular velocity computing unit to an output signal from
the acceleration computing unit, and an image stabilizing mechanism which
performs an image stabilizing operation based on an output signal from
the adder.
