Abstract: Provided is a finder device capable of preventing dust on a display surface of a display element and reducing an influence of heat which is generated from the display element on an optical system. An EVF 1 includes: an optical system 20 that includes a display element 10, a first lens group G1 disposed in order from the display element 10 side, and a second lens group G2; a first holding frame 30 that holds the display element 10 and the first lens group G1 to seal a space between the display element 10 and the first lens group G1; a second holding frame that holds the second lens group G2; and a diopter adjustment unit 50 that adjusts a diopter by integrally moving the display element 10 and the first lens group G1 relative to the second lens group G2.

Abstract: The present invention provides an imaging device in which focus movement due to a temperature variation is suppressed and the infiltration of foreign matter such as liquid or dust is prevented. An imaging device 10 is provided with an imaging lens 11, an imaging element 12, and an intermediate member 15. The imaging lens 11 is held by a lens-barrel 13 and forms an image of a photographic subject. The imaging element 12 captures the image of the photographic subject which is formed by the imaging lens 11. The intermediate member 15 has, on the inner-peripheral-surface of one end thereof, a flange portion 15a which comes into contact with the lens-barrel 13, and holds the lens-barrel 13 by joining the front surface 26 of a flange portion 13b of the lens-barrel 13 and the surface 27 on the imaging element 12 side of the flange portion 15a to each other.

Abstract: A light emitting element drive device includes: a light emitting section having a light emitting element; output capacitance capable of storing power supplied to the light emitting section; a driver connected between the light emitting section and a reference potential and including a switch section whose conductive state is controlled by a pulse-like lighting signal depending on magnitude of a load current and a constant current source section connected in series to the switch section; and a power supply controller being a power supply that provides drive power to the light emitting section and including a function to adjust an output current supplied to the output capacitance. The power supply controller changes the supply amount of the output current for the light emitting section from the power supply controller based on load current information that is necessary peak power of the light emitting section.

Abstract: A current detecting circuit detects amplitude of a current flowing toward the connecting point of a first transistor and a serial circuit through a second transistor and a comparing circuit compares amplitude of the current detected by the current detecting circuit with the reference value. An oscillation control circuit controls a control current supplied to an oscillating circuit in order to raise the oscillation frequency of the oscillating circuit when amplitude of the current detected by the current detecting circuit is smaller than the reference value as a result of comparison by the comparing circuit in view of preventing the oscillation frequency to be further lowered. Therefore, it is no longer required to design the apparatus by giving allowance to take into consideration the temperature characteristics and fluctuation of parts unlike the related art in which the minimum oscillation frequency of the oscillating circuit is set. Accordingly, variable range of the oscillation frequency can be expanded.
