Patent ID: 8432478

Claim:
An image-taking apparatus including a lens apparatus which is operable between a housed state and an image-taking state, comprising: a first member configured to hold a first lens unit and to be movable in an optical axis direction; a second member configured to be located on an object side further than the first member and to be movable in the optical axis direction, wherein the second member has an aperture unit on the object side; a first actuator configured to move the first member during the image-taking state, the first actuator being a voicecoil motor; a second actuator configured to move the second member; and a controller configured to control the first actuator and the second actuator, wherein the controller has a retraction mode to transit to the housed state from the image-taking state, wherein, depending on a transition to the retraction mode, the first actuator is brought into a nonenergized state and the first actuator does not move the first member, the second member moved by the second actuator comes into contact with the first member at a side of the second member opposite to the side where there is the aperture unit, and the second member moved by the second actuator shoves on the first member in the optical axis direction.
