Patent ID: 7961220

Claim:
A camera-shake correction mechanism that corrects camera shaking by moving an imaging device on a plane that is orthogonal to an optical axis and in directions that are mutually orthogonal, the camera-shake correction mechanism comprising: a heat dissipating mechanism configured to diffuse heat from the imaging device, the heat dissipating mechanism including a heat dissipating section directly connected to the imaging device and configured to diffuse heat from the imaging device into an atmosphere, a plurality of fins, provided on a main surface of the heat dissipating section, each of the plurality of fins having a main surface arranged at a predetermined angle with respect to movement of the imaging device to diffuse the heat from the imaging device into the atmosphere, and a heat conducting section to diffuse heat from the heat dissipating section into the atmosphere, the heat conducting section being located behind the heat dissipating section in a direction of the optical axis and at a side of the heat dissipating mechanism in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis, the heat conducting section having a length less than a length of the camera-shake correction mechanism in a direction perpendicular to the optical axis.
