Claim:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a main body comprising a front surface; a zoom lens unit that forms image light on an imaging unit, the zoom lens unit being supported by the main body such that an incident window of the zoom lens unit on which light is incident is exposed through the front surface of the main body; a zoom ring of the main body that is provided on the front surface of the main body around the zoom lens unit, is separate from the zoom lens unit, and is to be manually rotated; a holder provided on the front surface and comprising a rib that rotatably supports the zoom ring; a lens guide that has a ring shape and includes a hollow portion through which the zoom lens unit passes; a rotation detection unit comprising: a lens control processor that adjusts a zoom ratio by driving the zoom lens unit based on the detection signal of the sensor; and a rotation member that is disposed between the slit member and the zoom ring, and comprises a first connection unit that is connected to the zoom ring and a second connection unit that is connected to the slit member, wherein the first connection unit contacts an inner circumferential surface of the zoom ring, wherein a rotation ratio of the slit member to the zoom ring is greater than 1, wherein the lens guide is disposed inside the zoom ring in a radial direction of the zoom ring, and is coupled to the holder to support the zoom ring so that the zoom ring does not separate from the holder along an optical axis.
