Abstract: An image pickup apparatus includes an image sensor configured to capture an object image, an image stabilizing unit that includes a coil, a magnet that faces the coil, and a yoke that contacts the magnet, and moves the image sensor for an image stabilization by electrifying the coil, and a magnetic flux shielding member made of a magnetic material and disposed in an area between the image stabilizing unit and an exterior surface of the image pickup apparatus, through which a magnetic flux generated from the magnet moves toward outside of the image pickup apparatus.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element that captures an image for detecting a phase difference in a predetermined direction on an image surface in order to detect a focal state of an image formed by an image formation lens, an imaging element driving unit configured to be able to drive the imaging element in a parallel movement direction and a rotation direction within a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the image formation lens, and a focus detection unit configured to detect a focus by rotating the imaging element using the imaging element driving unit in accordance with a result of an image captured by the imaging element.

Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes a first mount portion and a first cylindrical member that has a color different from a color of the first mount portion and is disposed in a circumferential direction of the first mount portion, an accessory includes an exterior portion, a second mount portion, and a second cylindrical member having a color different from a color of the second mount portion and similar to a color of the first cylindrical member and disposed in a circumferential direction of the second mount portion, and in a state where the accessory is attached to the image capturing apparatus, reference surfaces of the first mount portion and the second mount portion are in contact with each other, and the first cylindrical member and the second cylindrical member are externally exposed regardless of whether the accessory is attached to or detached from the image capturing apparatus.

Abstract: Included are multiple camera claws of a second mount that are insertable between multiple accessory claws, and that are capable of coupling by bayonet coupling, multiple contact pins disposed following the circumferential direction of a mount, and a biasing unit to bias the multiple accessory claws in a direction parallel to a center axis of the second mount. The second mount can be relatively rotated to a first state where the accessory claws are inserted between the camera claws, and a second state where the camera claws engage with the accessory claws in the direction. The biasing unit biases a first accessory claw in the direction in the second state, and a first contact pin included in multiple camera-side contact pins situated at the nearest side of the mounting direction of an accessory overlaps the biasing unit in the radial direction.

Abstract: A mirror driving device has a simple configuration and is capable of accelerating and decelerating a mirror during a mirror down operation. The mirror driving device includes a mirror, a mirror box attached to be movable between a first position where the mirror is located in an optical path and a second position where the mirror is retracted from the optical path, a mirror driving member rotatably attached to the mirror box and configured to drive the mirror, and a link member rotatably attached to the mirror driving member. A cam portion is formed in the mirror box. The link member includes a follower portion configured to follow with the cam portion.
