Abstract:
An image stabilization mechanism includes: a sensor holder unit configured to hold an image sensor; a rear frame; a front frame; a first ball; a second ball; and a cylinder unit configured to press the first ball against the sensor holder unit. The cylinder unit has a cylinder on the rear frame so that an axial direction thereof is parallel to an optical axis direction, a piston movably positioned in the cylinder, and a spring configured to urge the piston toward the sensor holder unit. The first ball is between an end surface of the piston and the sensor holder unit.
