ABSTRACT:
A motion compensation device compensates for movement of an optical system of a camera. The motion compensation device includes a motion detection unit to detect motion of the optical system. A drive unit then drives a motion compensation lens in response to the detected motion while a stopping position detection unit detects a stopping position of the motion compensation lens. A centering operation unit moves the motion compensation lens from the stopping position to a first range about the optical axis or a second range greater than the first range about the optical axis. Depending upon whether the camera is in a one-frame photographic mode or a continuous photographic mode, the camera selects between the first or the second range for photographs subsequent to the first photograph.
