PHOTOGRAPHIC APPARATUS
First Claim
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; and
a controller that performs a movement control of said movable platform for an inclination correction based on an inclination angle of said photographic apparatus formed by rotation of said photographic apparatus around said optical axis, as measured with respect to a level plane perpendicular to the direction of gravitational force, for a first stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by yaw around the y direction, and for a second stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by pitch around the x direction, said x direction being perpendicular to said optical axis, and said y direction being perpendicular to said x direction and said optical axis;
said controller performing at least one of a first determination of whether said first stabilization is to be performed and a second determination of whether said second stabilization is to be performed, on the basis of said inclination angle.

Abstract
A photographic apparatus comprises a movable platform and a controller. The movable platform has an imager, and is movable and rotatable in an xy plane. The controller performs a movement control of the movable platform for an inclination correction based on an inclination angle of the photographic apparatus formed by rotation of the photographic apparatus around the optical axis, as measured with respect to a level plane, for a first stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by yaw around the y direction, and for a second stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by pitch around the x direction. The controller performs at least one of a first determination of whether the first stabilization is to be performed and a second determination of whether the second stabilization is to be performed, on the basis of the inclination angle.

7. 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; and a controller that performs a movement control of said movable platform for a first stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by yaw around the y direction, for a second stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by pitch around the x direction, and for a third stabilization for correcting hand shake caused by roll around the z direction, said x direction being perpendicular to said optical axis, said y direction being perpendicular to said x direction and said optical axis, said z direction being parallel to said optical axis; said controller performing at least one of a first determination of whether said first stabilization is to be performed and a second determination of whether said second stabilization is to be performed, on the basis of a hand-shake quantity caused by roll that is calculated for said third stabilization.
