Imaging apparatus and camera including the same

摘要

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element unit having an imaging element and an optical element which is integrally formed with the imaging element and through which a luminous flux of light for imaging passes, a first piezoelectric element, and a displacement increment mechanism connected to the first piezoelectric element and the imaging element unit. The displacement increment mechanism displaces the imaging element unit by expanding or contracting the first piezoelectric element, where a portion of the first piezoelectric element in a lengthwise direction thereof is attached to the optical element.
