Patent ID: 7787193

Claim:
An imaging device comprising: a first lens group arranged to receive a light flux incident in a first direction along a first optical axis; a bending unit arranged to reflect the light flux incident in the first direction to a second direction along a second optical axis intersecting with the first optical axis; a first movement mechanism retaining the first lens group and arranged to move the first lens group with respect to the bending unit in the first direction; a driving unit configured to drive the first movement mechanism; a second lens group arranged to receive the light flux reflected by the bending unit; and an imaging unit arranged to receive the light flux passing through the second lens group, the distance between the imaging unit and the bending unit being constant, the first movement mechanism including a first movement body movable with respect to the bending unit in the first direction and a second movement body retaining the first lens group and being movable with respect to the first movement body in the first direction.
