Abstract: A blur correction camera system includes a blur correction lens driven based upon the vibration detection signal detected by an angular velocity sensor, that corrects an image blur, a point-image function computing unit that computes a point spread function, and an image restoration computing unit that corrects an image blur by executing image restoration through image processing on a captured image by using the point spread function. The image blur that cannot be completely corrected by the blur correction lens is further corrected through image restoration so as to obtain a high quality image.

Abstract: An oil or fat composition according to the present invention contains a LCPUFA supply compound as a first component, and phospholipids as a second component, the LCPUFA supply compound containing LCPUFA in its structure and being hydrolyzable to remove its LCPUFA, wherein respective proportions of the first component and the second component are determined according to the number of hydrolyzable fatty acid bonds contained in the phospholipid molecules. The phospholipids and LCPUFA supply compound are metabolized to LCPUFA-PL in the body and absorbed. As a result, an oil or fat composition is provided that can efficiently increase the LCPUFA-PL level in the body. This is realized without directly using the phospholipids (LCPUFA-PL) whose constituents are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA), taking into account the metabolism in the body.

Abstract: A motion compensation device to compensate for motion of an optical system causing image blur, and having a position detection device to detect a position of a motion compensation optical system relative to a lens barrel. The position detection device includes an LED to emit light, a position sensing device (PSD) to sense light received from the LED and a light screening device having a slit between the LED and PSD. The lens barrel includes a movable tube to which the LED is fixed, and a fixed tube to which the PSD is fixed. During photography, the movable tube moves in the optical axis direction from a collapsed state causing the distance between the LED and the PSD to become long, and causing a light ray emitted from the LED and incident on the slit to form a small angle with a line perpendicular to the center of the slit.
