An apparatus controls image blur correction by using a first correction unit and a second correction unit having a lower image blur correction performance than that of the first correction unit. The apparatus includes a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a first division ratio, a determination unit configured to determine a final division ratio based on the first division ratio, and a control unit configured to control the first and second correction units based on the determined final division ratio. The determination unit can determine a division ratio where a ratio of the first correction unit is larger than that in the first division ratio, as the final division ratio.

The present invention relates to a method of adjusting control commands for moving a medical camera connected to a motorized support structure, wherein the adjustment is based on images provided by the camera. Based on a comparison of at least two images provided by the camera, an actual motion of the camera is determined and compared with an intended motion defined by a control command forwarded to the motorized support structure. In case a deviation between the intended motion and the actual motion is determined, a correction is applied to the control command such that the actual motion of the camera coincides with the intended motion.

A camera module includes a bracket, a rotatable module, a first magnetic member, and a second magnetic member; the bracket is provided with a rotating cavity, the rotatable module comprises a camera and a rotating body, the camera is fixedly connected to the rotating body, the rotating body is rotatably disposed in the rotating cavity, and a distance between a center of gravity of the rotatable module and a geometric center of the rotatable module is greater than 0; the first magnetic member is disposed on the bracket, the second magnetic member is disposed on the rotating body, at least one of the first magnetic member or the second magnetic member is an electromagnetic member, and the first magnetic member is disposed opposite to the second magnetic member; and in a case that the electromagnetic member is not energized, the camera can rotate under a force of gravity.
