Abstract:
1. An electronic imaging device which performs a photoelectric-conversion of a subject light with an imaging element and records the converted subject light, said device comprising: a first lens group which takes in a luminous flux from a subject along a first optical axis; an optical axis conversion member which bends the luminous flux along a second optical axis which intersects with the first optical axis after taking in the luminous flux passing through the first lens group; a second lens group which images the luminous flux bent by the optical axis conversion member along the second optical axis to the imaging element; an optical amount adjustment unit which is provided between the optical axis conversion member and the second lens group, and which has at least one of a shutter function and a diaphragm function; an AF motor which moves the first lens group to perform focusing; a driving unit which drives the optical amount adjustment unit; and a zoom motor which moves the second lens group to perform zoom adjustment; wherein the AF motor, the driving unit, and the zoom motor are each arranged in any one of four spaces formed by a first plane defined by the optical amount adjustment unit and a second plane defined by the first and second optical axes.
