Patent ID: 8922702

Claim:
An imaging device comprising: a lens support fixes a set of optical lenses; a substrate fixes the lens support; an imaging element is arranged to face the substrate between the set of optical lenses and the substrate; and an elastic body whose one end portion is connected to the imaging element and whose another end portion is connected to a member other than the imaging element, wherein the substrate includes a first Lorentz-force generating unit that generates a Lorentz force between the first Lorentz-force generating unit and the imaging element, the imaging element includes a second Lorentz-force generating unit that generates the Lorentz force between the second Lorentz-force generating unit and the substrate, and when an optical property of the imaging element with respect to the set of optical lenses is changed to a desired property, the substrate moves a position of the imaging element with respect to the set of optical lenses to a position according to the desired property and adjusts the Lorentz force to balance the Lorentz force with an elastic force of the elastic body at the position.
