1. An apparatus for preventing an image from being blurred in a camera, comprising:
- at least one angular velocity detecting means for detecting the absolute value of the angular velocity applied to the camera;
detecting means for detecting that the absolute value of the angular velocity detected by said angular velocity detecting means is below a predetermined value; and
actuating means for actuating a shutter of the camera only when the absolute value of the angular velocity detected by said angular velocity detecting means is below a predetermined value and the absolute value of the angular velocity is decreasing.

Abstract
An apparatus is provided for preventing an image from being blurred as it is being recorded on the film of a camera. Angular velocity sensors are provided for detecting the angular velocity applied to the camera, and an actuator is provided for actuating a shutter of the camera to correct for the movement of the camera when the absolute value of the angular velocity detected by the angular velocity sensors is below a predetermined value.
