  • Patent number: 11800226
    Abstract: A control apparatus includes at least one processor or circuit configured to execute a plurality of tasks including a first acquiring task configured to acquire information on an image shift sensitivity to a tilt of an imaging optical system corresponding to an image point position of the imaging optical system, which information includes an influence of a distortion of the imaging optical system, and a second acquiring task configured to acquire an image-stabilization driving amount that is used for an image stabilization by an image stabilizer configured to provide the image stabilization. The second acquiring task acquires the image-stabilization driving amount corresponding to a predetermined image point position using the information on the image shift sensitivity corresponding to the predetermined image point position.

  • Publication number: 20230236394
    Abstract: An optical system includes a first unit having positive refractive power, a second unit having positive or negative refractive power and configured to move in focusing, and a third unit having negative refractive power in order from an object side to an image side. A distance between adjacent two of the units changes in focusing. When a distance on an optical axis from a lens surface closest to the object side to a lens surface closest to the image side is TL, a distance on the optical axis from a lens surface closest to the object side to a lens surface closest to the image side in the third unit is TL3, a sum of thicknesses, on the optical axis, of lenses in the third unit is SD3, and the largest of the thicknesses of the lenses in the third unit is DM3, the optical system satisfies predetermined conditional inequalities.
