Abstract: An image capturing apparatus in which an image of a subject formed by lenses and a low pass filter of a photographic optical system is provided to an imaging device unit that supplies a corresponding signal to an A/D converter that in turn provides an output to an image processing unit. A blur-detecting device with a blur detecting part and a blur detecting unit detect blur that is compensated by a blur compensating unit with a blur-compensation driving unit. A system controller computes a displacement amount for blur compensation by the blur-compensation driving unit driving the blur compensating unit based on an output of the blur detecting device. A memory group is included for calibrating a conversion coefficient used by the system controller in calculating the displacement amount.

Abstract: To present a digital camera capable of operating a piezoelectric element without particularly preparing any boosting circuit inside the digital camera. In a digital camera for acquiring image data by taking a subject image, an imaging device for taking the subject image, and a piezoelectric element for displacing the imaging device are provided, and a main capacitor for stroboscope emission is used as the power supply source for the piezoelectric element.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus or digital camera in which an image of a subject formed by lenses (L1 and L2), and a low pass filter (F), in a photographic optical system is inputted by an imaging device unit (IS), an A/D converter (11, 111 or 211) and an image processing unit (12, 112 or 212), in an imaging device, comprises the a blur detecting part (16) and a blur detecting unit (17) in a blur-detecting device (SD), a compensating unit (BU) and a blur-compensation driving unit (20, 120 or 220) in a blur compensating device, a blur-compensation controlling device or system controller (15) for computing a displaced amount for compensation in a blur compensating device from an output of the blur detecting device and driving the blur compensating device, a device or the system controller (15) and a memory group (19) for calibrating a conversion coefficient for converting the output of the blur detecting device into the displaced amount, and a device for executing a calibrating operation, or the system controller
