Abstract
An image stabilizing device removably mountable on a camera or other optical apparatus includes an image stabilizer for accomplishing image stabilization of the camera, a detector for detecting the operative state of the camera, and a controller responsive to the detector to control the operation of said image stabilizer. The detector detects the presence or absence of an information signal and the controller acts diversely dependent on the detections.
