Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a camera provided with a hand shake correcting device, reduced in weight and size, with a small number of parts. SOLUTION: An X-axis actuator 10 and a Y-axis actuator 20 for driving a correcting lens for correcting a hand shake are controlled by a CPU 52 and a shutter unit 60 for driving a shutter is controlled by a CPU 51. The shutter unit 60 and the actuators 10 and 20 are connected to a common power source 59. When a shutter button SH is operated, the CPU 51 actuates the shutter unit 60, to open the shutter. The opened state of the shutter is kept without supplying power, so that the power source is switched to the actuators 10 and 20, to actuate them based on the signal of a hand shake detecting sensor 58 and drive the correcting lens. At the time of executing the closing operation of the shutter, the power source is switched to the shutter unit 60 from the actuators 10 and 20, to close the shutter.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as means for correcting image blur on an image forming surface due to camera shake caused during camera photographing, two correction lenses disposed immediately after a stop of a photographing lens are arranged in the optical axis direction. There is known an image stabilizing optical system that is driven eccentrically in a plane orthogonal to the plane. In the lens device provided with the vibration proof optical system, a dedicated driving mechanism for driving the correction lens in a predetermined direction is incorporated in the lens device.

[0003] As a mechanism for driving the correction lens of the above-described vibration proof optical system, a drive mechanism including a DC motor and a gear reduction mechanism has conventionally been adopted. In such a configuration, the motor is used. Not only is it large, but also the gear reduction mechanism occupies a large space because it incorporates a mechanism that eliminates backlash. For this reason, there has been a disadvantage that noise is generated during operation and the quality of the product is degraded. Therefore, the applicant has previously proposed a correction lens driving mechanism using an actuator using a piezoelectric element as a driving source (Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 10-26138). 6-200269).

In a camera equipped with a camera shake correction device for controlling the position of a correction lens, a shutter driving unit for opening and closing the shutter, a power supply for supplying power to the lens driving unit and the shutter driving unit, and a lens driving unit and a shutter driving unit. Control means for controlling the supply of electric power to the lens drive means when the shutter is in the open state and the supply of electric power to the shutter drive means can be stopped. It is characterized by the following. As a result, a single power source can be used, and since the correction lens driving unit and the shutter driving unit do not operate at the same time, a power source with a small current capacity can be used, and the number of parts can be reduced. In addition, the power supply space inside the camera can be reduced, and this has a remarkable effect in reducing the size and weight.
