Abstract
Abstract A camera comprises an angular velocity sensor for detecting camera-shake. The angular velocity sensor takes a certain time to be stabilized after its operation is started. When correction of camera-shake is required during the certain period, it is displayed that correction of camera-shake is not possible. As a result, a photographer using the camera with the camera-shake detection sensor refrains from photographing when correction of camera-shake is not possible.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A camera comprising: a) detection means for detecting an amount of camera-shake; b) an optical system operable to correct the camera-shake and movable on a plane perpendicular to optical axis of a taking lens; c) driving means for driving said optical system; and d) prediction means for predicting an amount of drive of said driving means to be driven based on a plurality of amounts of camera-shake repeatedly detected by said detection means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A camera comprising: a) detection means for detecting an amount of camera-shake; b) an optical system operable to correct the camera-shake and movable on a plane perpendicular to optical axis of a taking lens; c) driving means for driving said optical system; and d) prediction means for predicting an amount of drive of said driving means to be driven based on a plurality of amounts of camera-shake repeatedly detected by said detection means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A camera according to claim 1, wherein said prediction means predicts the amount of drive by a linear prediction method.
