Control apparatus for image blur correction

Claim 2

A control apparatus for image blur correction, comprising: a driving member which drives a lens unit; a detecting unit which detects vibration to output a vibration signal that is an analog signal; an amplifying circuit which amplifies said vibration signal by using a first amplification factor that is changeable; a converting circuit which converts the signal amplified by said amplifying circuit to a digital signal; an amplification adjusting circuit which adjusts the digital signal by using a second amplification factor that is changeable; and a changing circuit which changes said first and second amplification factor depending on whether or not said lens unit is being driven by said driving member; wherein said changing circuit sets said first amplification factor to be a first value when said lens unit is being driven, and sets said first amplification factor to be a second value which is higher than said first value when said lens unit isn't being driven, and sets said second amplification factor to be a third value when said lens unit is being driven, and sets said second amplification factor to be a fourth value which is lower than said third value when said lens unit isn't being driven.

Claim 3

The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said changing circuit changes said first amplification factor after a predetermined time period upon completion of the drive of said lens unit.

Claim 4

The control apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein said changing circuit changes a processing program for said digital signal depending on whether or not said lens unit is being driven, after a predetermined time period upon completion of the drive of said lens unit.

Claim 5

The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said lens unit includes a focusing lens.

Claim 6

The control apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said lens unit includes a zoom lens.

Claim 7
