Patent number: 7787193Abstract: The present invention aims to provide an imaging device and a camera realizing simultaneously a high magnification zoom lens system and the miniaturization of the device. The imaging device (2) includes a first lens group (G1), a second group frame unit (42), a first group frame unit (41), a motor unit (32), a third lens group (G3), and a CCD unit (33). The first lens group (G1) takes in a light flux incident along a first optical axis (A1). The second group frame unit (42) bends the light flux incident along the first optical axis (A1) to a direction along a second optical axis (A2). The first group frame unit (41) retains the first lens group (G1), and moves the first lens group (G1) in the direction along the first optical axis (A1). The motor unit (32) drives the first group frame unit (41).Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2006Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Panasonic CorporationInventors: Keiji Sakamoto, Takayuki Hayashi, Eiichi Nagaoka, Kenichi Hayashi, Daisuke Ito, Akio Konishi, Keishi Iwasaki
