To provide a compact camera shake correcting mechanism being suitable for a camera cone using especially a bent type imaging lens system; and to provide a camera cone, and an image pickup apparatus.

A rotation guide mechanism is disposed at a substantially intermediate part between a correction lens L5b and an actuator for actuating in a rotating direction, so that a moving distance of the correcting lens necessary for correcting the camera shake and the amount of actuation of the actuator for actuating in the rotating direction are substantially accorded with each other to minimize the camera shake correcting mechanism compared with the conventional ones and especially, to be suited to the bent type imaging lens system. Alternatively, a yoke 707 is standardized, and a magnet 705 of the actuator for actuating in the rotating direction and a magnet 706 of an actuator for actuating in the rectilinear direction are disposed in both sides of the yoke 707 in the optical axis direction so as to minimize the camera shake correcting mechanism compared with the conventional ones and especially, to be suited to the bent type imaging lens system.
