Abstract: An imaging device includes an imaging lens, an imaging element that captures an image transmitted through the imaging lens, a blur detection part configured to detect a blur, an actuator configured to determine a position of the imaging lens, and an actuator driver configured to control the actuator in accordance with a blur detection signal from the blur detection part.

Abstract: An imaging device includes: an imaging element; a lens disposed on a path of incident light to the imaging element; an actuator configured to displace the lens in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis; a position detecting element configured to generate a position detection signal indicating a displacement of the lens; and an actuator driver configured to feedback-control the actuator based on the position detection signal and a target code indicating a target displacement of the lens. The actuator driver includes: a correction circuit that converts a first detection code corresponding to the position detection signal into a second detection code having a linear relationship with an actual displacement of the lens; and a control circuit that controls the actuator so that the second detection code approaches the target code.

Abstract: A position detection unit generates a position detection value PFB that indicates the position of a control target. A temperature detection unit generates a temperature detection value that indicates the temperature. A correction unit corrects the position detection value PFB. A controller generates a control instruction value SREF such that the position detection value PFB_CMP subjected to the correction matches a position instruction value PREF that indicates the target position of the control target. A driver unit applies a driving signal that corresponds to the control instruction value SREF to an actuator. The correction unit corrects the position detection value PFB such that the relation between the position detection value PFB and the actual position exhibits linearity that is uniform independent of the temperature.
