Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a first lens barrel extending along and about a first lens barrel optical axis; a second lens barrel extending along and about a second lens barrel optical axis that is disposed side by side with the first lens barrel in a direction perpendicular to the first lens barrel optical axis; a reference metal sheet formed in an L-shape and including a mounted surface portion mounted on a surface perpendicular to the first lens barrel optical axis and a reference surface portion integrally connected perpendicularly to the mounted surface portion and having a hole formed therethrough that surrounds the first lens barrel optical axis; an adjustment metal sheet formed in an inverted L-shape and including a base surface portion mounted on a surface perpendicular to the second lens barrel optical axis and an adjustment surface portion integrally connected perpendicularly to the base surface portion and extending away from the second lens barrel optical axis; and an adjustment section operative to releasably connect the reference metal sheet and the adjustment metal sheet together at the adjustment surface portion and the reference surface portion when the adjustment surface portion and the reference surface portion are in facial opposition to each other and to adjust orientation of the first and second lens barrel optical axes relative to one another by adjusting the position of the adjustment surface portion and the reference surface portion relative to one another.
