ABSTRACT:
A camera having a vibration detection unit to detect the amount of vibration of a camera body and a vibration correction unit to compensate for the amount of vibration detected. The vibration detection unit requires a predetermined amount of time to determine the amount of vibration. If a user desires to take a photograph before the completion of the predetermined amount of time, the photograph will be taken without operation of the vibration correction unit. If the user desires to take a photograph after the completion of the predetermined amount of time, the vibration correction unit corrects for the vibration and, then, the photograph is taken. In addition, while the vibration correction unit is determining the amount of vibration, a display lamp blinks (a first state) and once the vibration detection unit has completed its performance, the display lamp continuously shines (a second state). Further, an indication may be given that the amount of vibration that has been determined is above a maximum value, thereby making the user aware that upper compensation of the vibration is not possible.
