ABSTRACT:
An optical motion compensation device that quickly releases the locking of a motion compensation optical system when it is desired to effect motion compensation, and that reliably locks the motion compensation optical system when not effecting motion compensation. The device includes a motion compensation optical system to move so as to compensate for motion. Also, the device includes an optical system support device to movably support the motion compensation optical system. An optical system drive device drives the motion compensation optical system in a direction to compensate for motion caused by external factors, such as hand shaking. An optical system movement device, distinct from the optical system drive device, causes the motion compensation optical system to move to a predetermined location. An optical system holding device maintains the motion compensation optical system, which has moved to the predetermined location, in that location, and a clamp control system, directly before commencing driving of the motion compensation optical system by the optical system drive device, cancels holding of the optical system holding device, and after the driving has stopped, moves the motion compensation optical system to a predetermined position by the optical system movement device, to maintain the motion compensation optical system in this location by the optical system holding device.
