An image stabilizing apparatus of the present invention includes a laminated substrate 19 that has a coil pattern, a hall element 21 fixed to the laminated substrate 19, a magnet 20, a back yoke 22, an opposing yoke 23, and a flexible printed circuit board for wiring the coil pattern on the laminated substrate and the hall element 21, the opposing yoke 23 being stepped (indentation-type recesses 23a, 23b) in a portion opposing the hall element 21. Reduction in size, weight and cost are thereby realized in a lens-shift image stabilizing apparatus.
