| 20110122495 | IMAGING LENS UNIT AND IMAGING APPARATUS - An imaging lens that focuses light from a subject on an imaging surface, a lens holder that holds the imaging lens, a holder that holds the lens holder so as to be capable of moving along the optical axis of the imaging lens and capable of rotating in a tilting direction with respect to the optical axis, magnets and coils that independently cause drive forces to act in the direction along the optical axis with respect to the lens holder at at least three locations of the periphery of the lens holder, a Hall element that detects the attitude of the lens holder with respect to the optical axis, and a control apparatus that controls the magnitude and direction of the drive force of each coil in accordance with the detection output of the Hall element. In accordance with the present invention, in the cladding lens unit, it is possible to perform a movement in an optical axis direction of the imaging lens and a tilt movement with respect to the optical axis with a simple constitution. | 05-26-2011 |
