Patent ID: 8159603

Claim:
An image capturing apparatus, comprising: an image sensor configured to convert an optical image of an object into an electric signal; an optical member provided in front of the image sensor and on a photographing optical axis; a vibration unit configured to apply vibration to the optical member; and a frame member, having a rectangular opening to pass the optical image through an image sensing surface of the image sensor, being held between the optical member and the image sensor and in direct contact with the optical member and the image sensor and sealing between the optical member and the image sensor, wherein in the frame member, a first pair of opposing sides and a second pair of opposing sides being different from the first pair of opposing sides are integrally formed, the first pair of opposing sides is brought into contact with the optical member at nodes of vibration of the optical member that is vibrating by the vibration of the vibration unit, and a thickness of the second pair of opposing sides in a direction of the photographing optical axis is thicker than that of the first pair of opposing sides in the direction of the photographing optical axis so that the frame member seals between the optical member and the image sensor without disturbing vibration of the optical member.
