Anti-shake apparatus
View Patent ↗An anti-shake apparatus (an image-stabilization apparatus) of a photographing device comprises a movable unit and a controller. The movable unit has an imaging device and is movable and rotatable for an anti-shake operation. The controller controls the movable unit for the anti-shake operation. The controller obtains information regarding a resolution at the edge of a lens that is used for an imaging operation of the imaging device. The controller controls a degree of the anti-shake operation that is performed for correcting hand-shake caused by roll on the basis of the resolution at the edge of the lens.
1. An anti-shake apparatus for image stabilization in a photographing device, comprising:
a movable unit that has an imaging device and is movable and rotatable for an anti-shake operation; and
a controller that controls said movable unit for said anti-shake operation;
said controller obtaining information regarding a resolution at the edge of a lens that is used for an imaging operation of said imaging device, and controlling a degree of said anti-shake operation that is performed for correcting hand-shake caused by roll, on the basis of said resolution at the edge of said lens.
2. The anti-shake apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said anti-shake operation is performed for correcting hand-shake caused by pitch, yaw, and roll when the value of said resolution at the edge of said lens is greater than a threshold value; and
said anti-shake operation is performed for correcting hand-shake caused by pitch and yaw without considering the hand-shake caused by roll when the value of said resolution at the edge of said lens is not greater than said threshold value.
3. The anti-shake apparatus according to claim 2 , further comprising a first magnetic-field change-detecting element and a second magnetic-field change-detecting element that are used for position detection of said movable unit in a specified direction;
wherein a calculation of a rotational direction component of a position of said movable unit for said anti-shake operation is performed based on a hand-shake angle caused by roll and a relative distance between said first magnetic-field change-detecting element and said second magnetic-field change-detecting element, when the value of said resolution at the edge of said lens is greater than said threshold value; and
said rotational direction component of said position of said movable unit for said anti-shake operation is set to 0 when the value of said resolution at the edge of said lens is not greater than said threshold value.
4. The anti-shake apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said lens has a memory that stores said information regarding said resolution at the edge of said lens.
5. A photographing device comprising:
an anti-shake unit that has a movable unit that has an imaging device and is movable and rotatable for an anti-shake operation for image stabilization and a controller that controls said movable unit for said anti-shake operation; and
a lens that is used for an imaging operation of said imaging device;
said controller obtaining information regarding a resolution at the edge of said lens, and controlling a degree of said anti-shake operation for correcting hand-shake caused by roll, on the basis of said resolution at the edge of said lens.
