る。2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, automation of photographing devices such as still cameras and video cameras has progressed, and those equipped with an automatic exposure and automatic focus adjustment mechanism have been widely put into practical use, and also due to shake of the entire device. Some technologies for realizing a shake correction (anti-shake) function for automatically correcting image shake have been put into practical use.

動制御を行う制御手段とから構成されている。In general, these apparatuses having the image stabilizing function drive a shake detecting means for detecting the shake of the entire apparatus, an image shake correcting means for correcting the image shake caused by the shake, and the image shake correcting means. The driving means and the control means for calculating the shake correction amount according to the output of the shake detecting means and controlling the driving of the drive means.

An angular velocity meter or an angular displacement meter is used, and as the image blur correction means, two glass plates are joined by a deformable bellows-like elastic film and a high refractive index liquid is sealed inside. A variable apex angle prism or the like is used.

きくなる。However, when the above variable apex angle prism is used as the image blur correction means,
The viscosity of the internal liquid that is a constituent element of the variable apex angle prism is low when the ambient temperature is high, and is high when the ambient temperature is low. The elasticity of the bellows-like elastic film, which is also a constituent element, is small when the ambient temperature is high, and is large when the ambient temperature is low.

るといった問題点があった。Therefore, if the characteristics of the control means are constant irrespective of temperature, when the ambient temperature is low, the loop gain of the system is reduced and the uncorrected amount of shake is increased, resulting in image shake on the screen. In addition to being conspicuous, the vibration reduction band is narrowed because the response speed decreases, and it becomes impossible to correct the vibration at a relatively high frequency. In addition, when the ambient temperature is high, there is a problem that the resonance value at the resonance frequency becomes high because the damping coefficient of the system becomes small, and it tends to oscillate, and the control stability is impaired.

に応じた信号が受光素子158から出力される。When shake occurs in the entire apparatus due to shake of the hand holding the photographing apparatus or the like, shake detectors 15a and 15b
The inner outer cylinder 151, the holding arm 154, the light emitting element 157, and the light receiving element 158 swing together with the main body. But,
The high specific gravity liquid 152, the sensing vanes 153, and the reflecting surface 156 provided at the center of the liquid 152 tend to be stationary with respect to the absolute seat due to their own inertia. Therefore, a relative angle corresponding to the shake amount is generated between the outer cylinder 151 and the sensing blade 153, and this relative angle causes the light beam emitted from the light emitting element 157 and reflected by the reflecting surface 156 to be reflected on the light receiving surface of the light receiving element 158.

The rotation angles around a and 5b, that is, the pitch of the variable apex prism and the variation of the apex angle in the yaw direction are changed by the light emitting elements 12a and 12b.
The luminous flux emitted from b is the glass plates 2a and 2b facing each other.
When the light-receiving elements 13a and 13b are irradiated with the light through the slits 10a and 10b attached to the arms 11a and 11b of the frame bodies 4a and 4b that rotate integrally with the light-receiving elements, the spot position moves on the light-receiving surface. ..

結果を引き起してしまうこともある。However, when the ambient temperature is lower than room temperature, the viscosity of the internal liquid 152 increases and the elasticity of the bellows-like elastic film 3 increases. Therefore, when the amplification factor in the control circuit 16 is constant regardless of temperature,
As described above, since the elasticity of the elastic film 3 increases at low temperatures, the displacement becomes small even when a constant driving force is applied, so that the shake cannot be completely corrected, and the correction remaining increases, and The image blur of (3) becomes conspicuous, the viscosity of the internal liquid 152 increases, the viscous resistance increases, the response speed decreases, it becomes impossible to follow the drive signal of high frequency, and the shake of high frequency cannot be corrected.
If the ambient temperature is higher than room temperature, the internal liquid 152
Has a lower viscosity, and the bellows-like elastic film 3 has a smaller elasticity. Therefore, even when a constant driving force is applied, the displacement amount becomes large, and further, since the viscosity of the internal liquid 152 is low, the damping becomes weak and the resonance value at the resonance frequency becomes high, resulting in oscillation. There is also a case where it causes an oscillation and the screen always shakes slightly.

Then, based on this voltage signal, the control circuit 16 makes the above-mentioned amplification factor larger when the temperature is lower than that at the normal temperature so that the calculated vertical angle and the actual vertical angle are Even if the difference is small, a large drive command signal is generated to overcome the increased elasticity of the elastic film 3 and tilt to a predetermined angle to prevent an increase in the uncorrected amount. On the contrary, if the temperature is high, the amplification factor is set to be smaller than that at the normal temperature to prevent the control system from oscillating so that a slight vibration does not occur on the screen.
