Image-shake correcting device
First Claim
1. An image-shake correcting device comprising:
- an optical image forming unit that forms an image;
a detecting unit that detects a shake of the image-shake correcting device;
a filter circuit that cuts off low frequency components of a detection signal output from said detecting unit;
a control circuit that controls a filter characteristic of said filter circuit such that a cutoff frequency of the low frequency components cut off by said filter circuit increases as a focal distance of said optical image forming unit becomes longer; and
a signal processing circuit that carries out signal processing for performing an image-shake correcting operation on an image signal output from said optical image forming unit, according to the detection signal having the low frequency components cut off by said filter circuit.

Abstract
There is provided an image-shake correcting device that is comprised of a detecting unit that detects shakes of the image-shake correcting device, a filter circuit that cuts off low frequency components of a detecting signal output from the detecting unit, a control circuit that controls the filter characteristic of the filter circuit such that the cutoff frequency of the filter circuit increases as the focal distance of the optical image forming unit becomes longer, and a signal processing circuit that executes signal processing for performing an image-shake correcting operation on an image signal output from the optical image forming unit, according to the detection signal having the low frequency components cut off by the filter circuit, to thereby improve the image stabilization characteristic, which is apt to be degraded on the telephoto side of the optical image forming system of the optical image forming unit.
