To provide a camera with a camera shake correcting function capable of improving the ability of camera shake correction by increasing a moving amount in a specified direction by installing a camera shake correction means so that it may be inclined by an optional angle considering the character of the camera from a vertical direction.
The camera is provided with angular velocity detection means (physical sensors 21y and 21p) incorporated in a camera body (camera main body) 11 and detecting an angular velocity around two axes orthogonal to a Z-axis (optical axis), an arithmetic calculation means 17 calculating camera shake correction amount based on the angular velocity around the two axes (X-axis and Y-axis) detected by the angular velocity detection means, and at least two camera shake correction means (camera shake correction devices 23a and 23b) performing camera shake correcting operation in the specified direction based on the camera shake correction amount arithmetically calculated by the arithmetic calculation means 17. Then, two of the camera shake correction means are installed so that they may be inclined by 45 degrees from the vertical direction.
