ABSTRACT:
A camera which includes a compensation lens, a drive mechanism, a frame and a protective member. The compensation lens is movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera to compensate for motion of the camera, such motion typically caused by hand tremor or other vibration affecting the camera. The drive mechanism moves the lens. The frame holds the lens and the drive mechanism. The frame has a first end and a second end so that light travelling along the optical axis of the lens apparatus passes through the first end to pass through the compensation lens and then out the second end. The protective member is positioned in either or both of the first and second ends of the frame, to protect the compensation lens and the drive mechanism. For example, the protective member can include a first protective lens positioned in the first end of the frame, and/or a second protective lens positioned in the second end of the frame.
