An image blur correction device according to the present invention includes an a base (100), a movable holding member (120), a support mechanism configured to movably support the movable holding member within a plane vertical to an optical axis of the lens, a driving means for driving the movable holding member within the plane, a position detecting means, and a return means for returning the movable holding member to a pause position in a pause state, the driving means includes a drive magnet (131, 141) fixed to one of the base and the movable holding member and a coil (132, 142) fixed to the other of the base and the movable holding member at a position where the coil faces the drive magnet, and the return means includes a return member (171, 172) consisting of a magnetic material or a magnet fixed to the other of the base and the movable holding member so as to face the drive magnet to form a magnetic force flow for returning to the pause position. As a result, simplification of the structure and a reduction in size and thickness of the device can be achieved, and a lens for correction can be automatically centered.
