Patent Images
1. A camera comprising:
- an optical system which focuses a light image of an object on an exposure plane;
a shutter release member which is operated by a camera user to instruct an exposure;
a shake amount detector which detects a shake amount of the light image on the exposure plane;
a memory which stores data in connection with a shake due to a motion of the camera accompanied by operation of the shutter release member by a photographer;
a calculator which calculates a shake correction control value based on a shake amount detected by the shake amount detector after operation of the shutter release member and the data stored in the memory; and
a controller which controls the optical system in accordance with a calculated shake correction control value to correct a shake of the light image on the exposure plane.

Abstract
A camera capable of correcting a shake includes a shake amount detector for detecting a shake amount of an object light image on an exposure plane, a memory for storing data in connection with a shake due to operation of a shutter release member, a calculator for calculating a shake correction control value based on a shake amount detected by the shake amount detector after operation of the shutter release member and the data stored in the memory, and a controller for controlling the optical system in accordance with a calculated shake correction control value to correct the shake.

9. A camera comprising:
-
an optical system which focuses a light image of an object on an exposure plane; a shutter release member which is operated by a camera user to instruct an exposure; a shake amount detector which detects a shake amount of the light image on the exposure plane at a specified timing; a data generator which generates data in connection with a shake due to a motion of the camera accompanied by operation of the shutter release member based on a shake amount detected by the shake amount detector after operation of the shutter release member by a photographer; a memory which stores the data generated by the data generator; a calculator which calculates a shake correction control value based on a shake amount detected by the shake amount detector after operation of the shutter release member and the data stored in the memory; and a controller which controls the optical system in accordance with, a calculated shake correction control value to correct a shake of the light image on the exposure plane. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for correcting a shake of a camera, comprising the steps of:
-
detecting a shake amount of a light image of an object on an exposure plane after operation of a shutter release member; calculating a non-shutter-release shake amount due to causes other than operation of the shutter release member by subtracting a shutter-release shake amount due to a motion of the camera accompanied by operation of the shutter release member by a photographer from the detected shake amount, the shutter-release shake amount being stored in a memory in advance; calculating a first shake correction control value based on a calculated non-shutter-release shake amount; calculating a second shake correction control value based on the shutter-release shake amount stored in the memory; calculating a net shake correction control value by adding up the first and second shake correction control values; and controlling an optical system for focussing the light image on the exposure plane in accordance with a calculated net shake correction control value to correct a shake of the light image on the exposure plane. - View Dependent Claims (16)
