Abstract
A camera casing 100 accommodates therein a shake correction unit 2 for oscillatingly supporting an image sensor 20, a control circuit board 6 loaded with electronic components such as ASIC 61 and a driving control circuit 62, and a viewfinder section 7 for allowing a user to confirm a field to be photographed. The shake correction unit 2, the control circuit board 6, and the viewfinder section 7 are arranged in proximity to each other on planes substantially identical to each other. The shake correction unit 2 has a first driving unit 3a arranged on the side of a side portion 20b of the image sensor 20 to apply an oscillating force to the image sensor 20 to oscillate the image sensor 20 in a first direction (pitch direction shown by the arrows p in FIG. 3) perpendicular to optical axis, and a second driving unit 3b arranged on the side of a side portion 20d of the image sensor 20 to apply an oscillating force to the image sensor 20 to oscillate the image sensor 20 in a second direction (yaw direction shown by the arrows y in FIG. 3) perpendicular to the optical axis and the first direction.
