  • Patent number: 7924513
    Abstract: There is provided a lens barrel including: a rear barrel to which an imaging device is attachable, an imaging optical system leading a subject image to the imaging device, and an image blur correcting unit moving a shift lens forming the imaging optical system in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the imaging optical system. The image blur correcting unit includes a base supporting the shift lens in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis of the imaging optical system. The lens barrel includes a support mechanism supporting the base to be movable relative to the rear barrel along a plane perpendicular to the optical axis; and a fixing device fixing the base to the rear barrel.

  • Patent number: 7768722
    Abstract: There is provided a lens barrel including an imaging optical system, and an image blur correction unit moving a shift lens forming the imaging optical system in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the imaging optical system. The image blur correction unit includes a second movable body holding the shift lens and provided to be movable in two directions perpendicular to each other on a plane perpendicular to the optical axis. A fixed lens holding frame holding a fixed lens forming the imaging optical system is placed in front of the second movable body. A movement control structure is provided in a region ranging from the second movable body to the fixed lens holding frame to allow movement of the second movable body in the two directions and control a range of movement of the second movable body.
