A lens apparatus detachable from a camera that includes a first correction unit movable for an image stabilization in a camera system including the lens apparatus and the camera. The lens apparatus includes a second correction unit movable for the image stabilization, and a setting unit. The camera system moves one correction unit of the first correction unit and the second correction unit and does not move the other correction unit in the image stabilization before imaging for recording starts, and moves the first correction unit and the second correction unit in the image stabilization during the imaging for recording, and the setting unit sets information on a correction ratio between the first correction unit and the second correction unit for each direction of the one correction unit from a position of the one correction unit when the imaging for recording starts.

An interchangeable lens apparatus attachable to an imaging apparatus configured to move an image sensor in an image stabilization includes an imaging optical system, a storage unit configured to store image circle information including a relationship between an imaging condition and position information of an image circle of the imaging optical system, and a transmission unit configured to transmit at least part of the image circle information to the imaging apparatus.

An IC chip that controls a driving mechanism that drives an optical element based on a control signal is provided. The IC chip comprises a generation unit that generates the control signal for moving the optical element to a target position while suppressing sound generated due to the driving by the driving mechanism, based on a detection signal indicating a position of the optical element and relationship information indicating a relationship between an index corresponding to a magnitude of the sound generated due to the driving by the driving mechanism and a position of the optical element.
