ABSTRACT:
A camera having a lens which is shiftable to suppress image blur, and which controls a centering operation of the lens. The camera is settable to be in a serial photo mode for taking a series of continuous photographs, and in a non-serial photo mode for taking individual photographs. The lens has an initial position, typically a centered position. The camera includes a control mechanism for controlling the lens. When the camera is set in the non-serial photo mode, the control mechanism suppresses image blur by, for each individual photograph to be taken, positioning the lens at the initial position before the photograph is taken and shifting the lens from the initial position. When the camera is set in the serial photo mode, the control mechanism suppresses image blur by, for photographs taken subsequent to a first photograph of a series of continuous photographs, shifting the lens from the final lens position of the previous photograph, without repositioning the lens at the initial position.
