A digital camera includes a first lens group, a second group frame unit, a third lens group, a CCD unit, a lens barrel, and a chassis. The first lens group receives a light flux along a first optical axis. The second group frame unit receives and bends the light flux along a second optical axis after passing through the first lens group. The third lens group receives the bent light flux from the second group frame unit. The CCD unit receives the light flux passing through the third lens group. The lens barrel includes the first lens group, the second group frame unit, the third lens group, and the CCD unit. The chassis supports the lens barrel. The second optical axis is substantially parallel to the transverse direction of an object to be captured by the CCD unit when the bottom of the chassis is substantially parallel to the transverse direction of the object.
