The turning member has one end held by the first holding member and another end held by the second holding member, and is turnable about an axis orthogonal to the optical axis of the lens.

Abstract: An electronic apparatus to which an external apparatus is detachably attachable includes a controlling unit configured to make a vibration device vibrate by using a vibration parameter corresponding to a type of the external apparatus to be attached to the electronic apparatus, the vibration device being provided on at least one of the electronic apparatus and the external apparatus.

Abstract: If vibration propagates to an operation button that is a moving member in a state where the operation button is not touched by a user, a noise is generated from near the operation button. Therefore, an electronic apparatus that reduces a noise generated from near an operation button is provided. In an electronic apparatus, a vibration device has a first vibration mode of vibrating an operation unit at a second position and a second vibration mode of vibrating an exterior member at a first position, and the operation unit is not in contact with a vibration propagation member at the first position, and the operation unit is in contact with the vibration propagation member at the second position or as the operation unit arrives at the second position.

Abstract: An optical apparatus configured to correct an image blur by moving an image stabilization unit in a first direction different from an optical axis direction based on shake information obtained by a shake detector includes a vibration device configured to generate a vibration in order to transmit to a user a tactual sense according to an operation of an operation unit by the user. During an imaging and recording period, the vibration device generates the vibration having a vibration intensity in a second direction different from the first direction higher than that in the first direction.

Abstract: An accessory shoe device enabling multi-polarization of a connector for connection to an accessory without degrading the versatility thereof. The accessory is attached to an engagement member. A signal terminal connector has contacts arranged in a lateral direction orthogonal to an attaching direction. A pair of first engagement portions in the engagement member are spaced by a first width in the lateral direction, and a pair of second engagement portions in the engagement member are spaced by a second width larger than the first width. The signal terminal connector is disposed forward of the first engagement portions in the attaching direction. A length of the signal terminal connector in the lateral direction is larger than the first width and smaller than the second width. The second engagement portions are formed rearward of the first engagement portions in the attaching direction.

Abstract: An accessory shoe device capable of improving drip-proof performance while ensuring positional accuracy in a pitch direction in which terminals of a multi-polarized signal terminal connector are arranged. The accessory shoe device includes an engagement member for having an accessory attached thereto, a signal terminal connector including terminals for connection with the accessory attached to the engagement member, a top cover having the engagement member mounted thereon, and a positioning unit for positioning the signal terminal connector with respect to the engagement member. The top cover has an opening for externally exposing the terminals of the signal terminal connector. The signal terminal connector and the engagement member are fixed to each other by the positioning unit such that they sandwich a portion of the top cover surrounding the signal terminal connector.
