1. An image shake correcting apparatus including:

  • a shake signal output device which supplies a shake signal corresponding to a vibration working on an optical system;

    an image displacing device which displaces an image formed by said optical system;

    and an image shake correcting device which causes said image displacing device to so displace said image as to cancel any image shake due to the vibration working on said optical system on the basis of the shake signal supplied by said shake signal output device, the apparatus comprising;

    a pan/tilt detecting device which detects panning or tilting of said optical system;

    an image shake correction stopping device which stops image shake correction by said image shake correcting device when said panning or tilting has been detected based upon detection of the degree of vibration of the optical system;

    a pan/tilt end detecting device which detects the end of said panning or tilting;

    an image shake correction restarting device which causes said image shake correcting device to resume image shake correction when the end of said panning or tilting has been detected; and

    an object frequency band altering device which raises, for a prescribed length of time after resumption of said image shake correction, a cutoff frequency on the low frequency side of the frequency band covered by said image shake correction.
