The stopper mechanism may include a spacer member in the movable body which includes a stopper protruded part extended to an opposite side to an object to be photographed with respect to the image pickup element, and a stopper member to abut with the stopper protruded part of the spacer member. The spacer member may be fixed to a member different from the optical module in the movable body.
