Abstract

See full text

A camera with shake correction mechanism according to the invention comprises: an image pickup device for picking up object light; shake detecting device for detecting a shake exerted to a camera body; a shake correction unit provided with a driving section for exerting a swing force for swinging the image pickup device in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis; a control board on which electronic components are mounted; and a flexible wiring member for electrically connecting the shake correction unit to the control board, wherein the shake correction unit and the control board are arranged at adjacent positions to each other in a direction of almost the same plane, while in an adjacent part of the two elements, a space part is set up that can accommodate the flexible wiring member in a bent state. According to this configuration, in the camera in which a shake correction unit and a control board are arranged at adjacent positions to each other in a direction of almost the same plane so that the thickness size is reduced in the optical axis direction, the flexible wiring member for electrically connecting the two elements can be wired in an optimal manner.
