1. An image sensor comprising: an imaging element for imaging an object; a first movable member mounted with said imaging element and movable in a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to said first direction; a transmission member provided on said first movable member; a first driving source having a first rotating shaft for supplying driving force to said transmission member; a first pressing member so provided as to engage with said first rotating shaft for pressing said transmission member in said first direction; and a first spring member for urging said transmission member in said first direction on the side of said first pressing member, wherein said first spring member is so arranged that the urging direction of said first spring member is inclined with respect to the axis of said first rotating shaft of said first driving source thereby inclining said transmission member urged by said first spring member with respect to the axis of said first rotating shaft and bringing said transmission member into contact with said first pressing member engaging with said first rotating shaft, so that said first pressing member engages with said first rotating shaft while the axis of said first pressing member is inclined with respect to the axis of said first rotating shaft.
