Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes a vibration device, a vibration transmission member, a housing that holds the vibration transmission member, a movable portion, and an optical member. The vibration device vibrates the image capturing apparatus to give a user a feeling corresponding to a user operation performed on an operation portion. The vibration transmission member transmits a vibration. The movable portion holds an image sensor that moves within a first area in a direction different from an optical axis to perform image blur correction. The optical member is arranged on an object side of the image sensor and on the optical axis. While the image sensor is located in the first area, the optical member and the vibration transmission member are not in contact with each other. When the image sensor moves to a second area outside the first area, the optical and vibration transmission members are brought into contact.
