Camera system and interchangeable lens to compensate for image blur when photographing at close range
First Claim
1. A camera system, comprising:
- a first motion detection unit to detect motion inclined to an optical axis of a photographic optical system; and
a second motion detection unit to detect motion not inclined to the optical axis,wherein the second motion detection unit is located closer to an imaging surface than the first motion detection unit.

Abstract
A camera system and interchangeable lens which can accurately compensate for motion causing image blur regardless of the subject range, by detecting motion having different properties. The camera system and interchangeable lens include a first motion detector having angular velocity sensors which detect blurring motion inclined to the optical axis, and a second motion detector having acceleration sensors to detect blurring motion which causes movement perpendicular to the optical axis. The second motion detector is located as close as possible to the film plane, between an aperture unit and a lens side mount unit. As a result, because the distance (radius of rotation) between an instantaneous rotation center, which exists close to the film plane, and the second motion detector becomes small, the effects of angular acceleration become small, and blurring motion can be accurately compensated.
