IMAGE BLURRING CORRECTING DEVICE AND LENS SUPPORTING FRAME MEMBER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To miniaturize an image blurring correcting mechanism. SOLUTION: The vertical direction driving frame 70 of a lens supporting frame 30 possesses rail members 70L and 70R extended in a vertical direction and rail members 70U and 70B extended in a horizontal direction. The rail members 70U and 70B are projected on the side of an objective lens than the rail members 70L and 70R, and the rail members 70U and 70B and the rail members 70L and 70R are formed so as to have a difference in levels in an axial direction perpendicular to a plane in parallel both in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The horizontal direction driving frame 80 of the lens supporting frame 30 is a thin sheet member formed into nearly a rectangular shape, and holds first and second correspond lenses 31 and 32. The horizontal direction driving frame 80 is supported so as to be driven in the horizontal direction by the rail members 70U and 70B of the vertical direction driving frame 70. The occurrences of spaces between the rail members 70L and 70R and the horizontal direction driving frame 80 by seeding in the optical axis directions of the correction lenses 31 and 32 are prevented.
