Abstract: A vibration reducing apparatus comprises a holding unit for holding a vibration reducing optical system, a vibration reducing drive unit for reducing vibrations of an object image by moving the holding unit, a lock unit for locking the holding unit in a predetermined position, a control unit for controlling the vibration reducing drive unit and the locking unit, and a determining unit for determining whether or not the holding unit should be locked in the predetermined position. The determining unit outputs a first predetermined signal to the control unit so as to lock the holding unit in the predetermined position at least once before operating the vibration reducing drive unit after switching ON an electricity supply. The control unit, upon receiving the first predetermined signal from the determining unit, controls the lock unit to lock the holding unit in the predetermined position.

Abstract: A method of making stereoscopic images comprises a first step of exposing a color negative film in a stereoscopic camera to produce a film strip having a plurality of stereo image pairs thereon and then a second step of printing the stereo image pairs onto a color transparency material in a circular pattern. The method may further include the step of punching a disk out of the color transparency material with the stereo image pairs arranged around the circumference of the disk.
