Abstract

See full text

A lens barrel includes a lens drive ring actuated to drive a lens group along an optical axis, a driving direction detector detecting a driving direction of the lens drive ring, an actuator actuating the lens drive ring, a power transmission mechanism transmitting a driving force of the actuator to the lens drive ring, a manual operation member to manually move the lens drive ring, and a lens-driving controller controlling the actuator to drive the lens drive ring to move the movable lens group. When the lens drive ring is driven, the lens-driving controller controls a driving output of the actuator according to whether or not a first driving direction of the lens drive ring detected immediately before the lens drive ring is driven and a currently-detected second driving direction of the lens drive ring are mutually identical.
