LENS UNIT AND IMAGE-CAPTURING DEVICE

摘要

A lens unit provided with an actuator having a function by which the actuator is self-retained at a stop position. A lens unit comprising: a holding frame for holding a lens; an actuator for movement, adapted to move the holding frame connected to a mover which moves linearly relative to a stator; and an actuator for a braking section, adapted, when the actuator for movement is not generating the driving force, to brake the mover relative to the stator using a frictional force and also adapted, when the actuator for movement generates the driving force, to release the frictional force.
