ABSTRACT:
A system with an image stabilizing device, such as a camera, having (A) an image stabilizing device including an optical blur compensator for blur compensation by a movement in the optical path, a displacement detector for detecting the displacement of the compensator in plural directions, and a gravity direction detector for detecting the direction of gravity based on the output of the displacement detector, and (B) a system element controlled according to the output of the gravity director detector. Thus the optical blur compensator is used also for detecting the direction of gravity, which is utilized for controlling other functions of the system, such as the direction of data recording or the mode of light metering, depending on the position of the system, identified from the direction of gravity. The system can therefore dispense with a separate device for detecting the direction of gravity, thereby achieving reductions in size, cost and weight.
