An image blur correction device capable of reducing its size in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis. A holding frame holding an image capture device is held movable in an X-axis direction, a Y-axis direction, and a rotational direction about an axis extending in a Z-axis direction. A first guide member, a second guide member, and a third guide member guide the holding frame in the X-axis direction, Y direction-axis, and in the rotational direction, respectively. A first vibration actuator drives the first guide member, a second vibration actuator drives the second guide member, and a third vibration actuator drives the third guide member. The third vibration actuator is arranged at a location more remote from the rotation center of the third guide member than at least one of the first and second vibration actuators, as viewed from the Z-axis direction.

An image blur correction device acquires a blur detection signal, and separates it into a high frequency band signal component and a low frequency band signal component using an HPF and an LPF. A high frequency side prediction processing unit acquires an output of the HPF, and a low frequency side prediction processing unit acquires an output of the LPF via a down-sampler. A prediction processing unit updates a filter coefficient of a prediction filter using an adaptive algorithm, and performs linear prediction on the blur detection signal. An adder adds an output of the high frequency side prediction processing unit to an output of the low frequency side prediction processing unit via an up-sampler, and outputs a superimposed output signal. Image blur correction control is performed on the basis of a superimposed output signal.
