An anti-shake apparatus for image stabilizing comprises an angular
velocity sensor and a controller. The angular velocity sensor detects an
angular velocity. The controller controls the angular velocity sensor and
performs an anti-shake operation on the basis of an output signal from
the angular velocity sensor. The controller performs a modification of an
offset output in the value of the output signal during a predetermined
period of the anti-shake operation, and does not perform the modification
except for during the predetermined period.
