IMAGING ELEMENT DRIVING DEVICE AND IMAGING DEVICE USING SAME

摘要

An imaging element driving device is provided with an imaging element holding section, which holds an imaging element by permitting an imaging plane to face a prescribed direction, and is movable in an optical axis direction; a movable section arranged to abut to the imaging element holding section; a driving section for shifting the imaging element, which is held by the imaging element holding section, in the optical axis direction by maintaining the planar direction of the imaging plane by operating the movable section; and a position holding force applying section for applying a position holding force for holding the position of the imaging element holding section in the optical axis direction. An imaging device using such imaging element driving device is also provided.
