ABSTRACT:
A motion compensation camera having a camera body and a lens which is attachable to and removable from the camera body, such that the camera is able to compensate for blurring of a photographic image on an image plane resulting from motion or vibration of the camera body. The camera body has a main control unit which controls a series of camera operations. The lens either (a) determines whether it is possible to compensate for the blurring of the photographic image and transmits those results to the main control unit and controls the motion compensation operation or (b) determines whether the motion compensation operation is in progress and transmits signals which indicate this condition to the main control unit. If the lens side control unit determines that motion compensation is not possible, the main control unit controls the display unit to that effect or performs control, such as increasing the shutter speed. If the lens side control unit determines that motion compensation is in progress, the main control unit controls the display unit indicating this condition or performs controls such as setting a battery check voltage to a low level.
