Anti-shake apparatus
View Patent ↗An anti-shake apparatus for image stabilizing comprises a movable unit and a controller. The movable unit is movable for an anti-shake operation. The controller stops the anti-shake operation after an exposure time and moves the movable unit to a first position after the anti-shake operation. The first position is a position of the movable unit before the exposure time and before the anti-shake operation. The controller moves the movable unit at a decelerated, low rate of speed before finishing its movement to the first position.
1. An anti-shake apparatus for image stabilization, comprising:
a movable unit that is movable for an anti-shake operation;
a controller that stops said anti-shake operation after an exposure time and moves said movable unit to a first position after said anti-shake operation, said first position being a position of said movable unit before an exposure time and before said anti-shake operation, said controller moving said movable unit at a predetermined speed before finishing its movement to said first position; and
a mirror that performs a mirror-up operation and a mirror-down operation, a predetermined length of time for moving said movable unit to said first position being shorter than a length of time from when said anti-shake operation is finished to when said mirror-down operation is finished.
2. The anti-shake apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a predetermined period having said predetermined length of time is finished when said mirror-down operation is finished.
3. The anti-shake apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined length of time for moving said movable unit to said first position is shorter than a length of time from when said anti-shake operation is finished to when the image processing operation is finished.
4. The anti-shake apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said controller controls the movement of said movable unit, under the condition where a relationship between a distance of said movement and an elapse of time corresponding to said movement to said first position is represented by a sine waveform during a predetermined period beginning with a commencement of movement of said movable unit to said first position and ending with a completion of movement of said movable unit to said first position.
5. The anti-shake apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein a movement control of said movable unit for said anti-shake operation is performed at a predetermined time interval; and
a length of time of said predetermined period is longer than said predetermined time interval.
6. An anti-shake apparatus for image stabilization, comprising:
a movable unit that is movable for an anti-shake operation;
a controller that stops said anti-shake operation after an exposure time and moves said movable unit to a first position after said anti-shake operation; and
a mirror that performs a mirror-up operation and a mirror-down operation,
said controller controlling a movement of said movable unit, under a condition where a relationship between a distance of said movement and an elapse of time corresponding to said movement to said first position is represented by a sine waveform during a predetermined period beginning with a commencement of movement of said movable unit to said first position and ending with a completion of movement of said movable unit to said first position,
said movement of said movable unit to said first position being performed based on a position detection operation of said movable unit and a positioning operation in which a position to which said movable unit should be moved is determined, at a predetermined time interval that is shorter than said predetermined period,
a predetermined length of time for moving said movable unit to said first position being shorter than a length of time from when said anti-shake operation is finished to when said mirror-down operation is finished.
