Abstract:
An image pickup apparatus is capable of decreasing a space capacity occupied by component elements and being downsized compared to a case where an actuator is arranged independently of a supporting unit. The image pickup apparatus has an image pickup unit driven by the actuator, a base unit, and the supporting unit provided in a standing manner from the base unit and rotatably supports the image pickup unit. The actuator has a piezoelectric element and an oscillator including a transmission unit which transmits driving force caused by vibration excited by the piezoelectric element. The transmission unit is arranged in the supporting unit so that it is in pressure contact with the image pickup unit. The image pickup unit has a transmitted plane with which the transmission unit is brought into pressure contact, and the vibration excited by the oscillator causes the transmitted plane to move relatively to the oscillator.

Claim (Index 1):
An image pickup apparatus having an image pickup unit, a base unit, and a supporting unit that is provided in a standing manner from the base unit and rotatably supports the image pickup unit, the image pickup apparatus comprising:\n an actuator configured to drive the image pickup unit, wherein the actuator has a piezoelectric element and an oscillator including a transmission unit which transmits a driving force caused by vibration excited by the piezoelectric element, and the transmission unit is arranged in the supporting unit so as to be brought into pressure contact with the image pickup unit, and the image pickup unit has a transmitted plane with which the transmission unit is brought into pressure contact, and the vibration excited by the oscillator causes the transmitted plane with which the transmission unit is brought into pressure contact to move relatively to the oscillator.
