Patent ID: 7509040

Claim:
An imaging device comprising: a photographing optical system including an image sensor positioned at an imaging position of said photographing optical system; an image stabilizer configured to detect vibration applied to said photographing optical system and to move said image sensor in a plane orthogonal to an optical axis of said photographing optical system to counteract image shake in accordance with a direction and a magnitude of said vibration; a movable unit comprising a holder body, a sealing member, and a pressure plate, said image sensor being positioned between said sealing member and said pressure plate; a rearmost lens group comprising a filter positioned between a flange on an inner surface of said holder body and said sealing member in front of said image sensor, and further comprising a rearmost lens element positioned in front of said filter and supported by said holder body at a front end of said holder body, wherein said filter and said sealing member in front of said image sensor provide a dust resistant environment for a light-receptive surface of said image sensor, and wherein said image sensor and said rearmost lens group are integrally moved by said image stabilizer.
