Abstract
An image pickup apparatus is provided with a vibration sensor for detecting vibrations of the apparatus, an optical image-shake correcting device for optically correcting an image shake according to an output of the vibration sensor, an electronic image-shake correcting device for electronically correcting the image shake according to an output of the vibration sensor. The apparatus includes a control circuit arranged to select either the optical image-shake correcting device or the electronic image-shake correcting device according to the focal length of an image-pickup optical system of the apparatus.
