ABSTRACT:
A camera has a motion compensation device which is stable in operation. A motion detection unit determine motions of the camera and a motion compensation unit drives a motion compensation optical system to remove blur of an image due to the motion of the camera. A communication unit transmits operating instructions based upon the amount of motion from the motion detection unit to the motion compensation unit and a monitoring unit determines whether an anomaly exists in the operating instructions. A locking unit locks the motion compensation optical system in a centering position if the anomaly exists. According to another embodiment, the motion compensation optical system is driven to a center position prior to the performance of the motion compensation and inhibits movement by the motion compensation optical system if a defect occurs during the centering operation.
