1. A photographic apparatus comprising:

  • a movable platform which has an imager that captures an optical image through a taking lens, and is movable and rotatable in an xy plane perpendicular to an optical axis of said taking lens;

    a translational movement switch that is used for selecting ON/OFF states of a translational movement including at least one of a first stabilization and a second stabilization, said first stabilization moving said movable platform in the x direction for correcting hand shake caused by yaw, said second stabilization moving said movable platform in the y direction for correcting hand shake caused by pitch, said x direction being perpendicular to said optical axis, said y direction being perpendicular to said x direction and said optical axis;

    a rotational movement switch that is used for selecting ON/OFF states of a rotational movement that rotates said movable platform in said xy plane; and

    a controller that controls said movable platform for said translational movement on the basis of the state of said translational movement switch, and said rotational movement on the basis of the state of said rotational movement switch.
