Abstract:
1. An imaging apparatus including a zoom type lens barrel configured to change a shooting magnification by moving between a storage position and a shooting position, the imaging apparatus comprising: a lens unit arranged along a first optical axis; a reflection optical element configured to bend a light flux incident from the lens unit towards a second optical axis, which extends in a direction intersecting with the first optical axis to guide the light flux to an image sensor; an imaging substrate, which is located at a position to the rear side of the second optical axis of the image sensor, configured to process a signal output from the image sensor; and an image sensor holding member including a holding portion configured to hold the image sensor and a connection portion protruded from a plane formed by the holding portion in a direction rear to the second optical axis and configured to connect the holding portion at an edge thereof, wherein when viewed from the direction of the second optical axis, the image sensor and the imaging substrate are arranged in an opening formed by the connection portion and the plane formed by the holding portion, and the image sensor is located at the holding portion from the rear side of the second optical axis of the image sensor holding member.
