An image stabilizer can steady blurry images. The image stabilizer
includes first and second Hall elements and a yoke with a magnet fixed
thereto, the yoke including a projected portion to escape magnetic flux
from the edge portion of the magnet. In the state in which one of magnets
and a coil supporting holder are fixed to a moving frame and in which the
optical axis of the correcting lens is matched with the optical axis of
the lens system, the first and second Hall elements are moved to the
first and second directions so that the first and second Hall elements
are properly positioned at the positions in which magnetic force received
by the two Hall elements from the magnet becomes a reference value,
whereafter the other of the magnets and the coil supporting member are
fixed to a supporting frame.
