An image stabilizer includes a driver having a coil and magnet, where a
correcting lens on a moving frame is moved by the driver in a first
direction perpendicular to an optical axis of a lens system and in a
second direction perpendicular to the first direction and optical axis,
and an optical axis of the correcting lens corresponds with the optical
axis of the lens system. The coil and magnet are fixed to the moving
frame and a supporting frame; the driver includes first and second coils
for moving the correcting lens in the first and second directions, and a
magnet applying magnetic force to those coils; and thrust generated from
the first and second coils are directed in the first and second
directions, each forming an angle of approximately 45.degree. with a line
connecting the optical axis of the correcting lens and the center of a
lens barrel.
