The dust-proof filter unit includes: a dust-proof member including a transmission portion which can transmit a light flux for image, the dust-proof member being oppositely disposed to a solid image pickup device at a predetermined spacing therebetween; a first excitation unit for providing a vibration to the dust-proof member, the vibration being in a first direction in parallel with a predetermined plane; a second excitation unit for providing a vibration to the dust-proof member, the vibration being in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction; a dust-proof filter driving portion for driving the first excitation unit and the second excitation unit; and a control circuit for controlling the dust-proof filter driving portion.
