ABSTRACT:
A camera with a locking mechanism for a vibration correction device in the camera. The camera includes a photographic optical system having a blur correction lens and is detachable from the camera body, a blur correction mechanism which moves the blur correction lens, a locking mechanism which has a first position that restricts the movement of the blur correction lens and a second position which allows the blur correction lens to move unrestricted by the locking mechanism, and a removal regulation member which regulates the detachment of the photographic optical system from the camera body, wherein the operation of the removal regulation member is conditional upon the position of the locking mechanism. The movement of the blur correction lens is restricted when the photographic optical system is detached from the camera body, thereby preventing damage to the blur correction lens, the photographic optical system, or other camera components.
