ABSTRACT:
An image stabilizer including a movable frame that moves in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis to correct image blurring and has a first surface perpendicular to the optical axis and a support frame for movably supporting the movable frame in the plane perpendicular to the optical axis. The support frame includes a predetermined member having a second surface perpendicular to the optical axis and a ball arranged between the first surface and the second surface. The support frame movably supports the movable frame in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis with the ball kept in rolling contact with the first and second surface. The image stabilizer thus suffers small resistance in the shifting movement.
