1. A shake-proof camera comprising:

  • a first lens functioning as a shake-correcting lens portion that corrects a shake by changing an optical axis of a photographic optical system in a direction substantially perpendicular to the optical axis, the first lens being used for shake-correction;

    a first lens frame that holds said first lens;

    a second lens, distinct from said first lens, functioning as a focusing lens portion disposed in a vicinity of said shake-correcting lens portion and arranged as movable in a direction of the optical axis, said second lens being moved for focusing without moving said first lens of said shake-correcting lens portion;

    a second lens frame that holds said second lens; and

    a shake-correcting lens lock apparatus disposed on said second lens frame and that prevents said first lens from moving in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis when said shake-correcting lens lock apparatus is in contact with at least a portion of said first lens frame.
