An imaging unit has an imaging device that has an imaging lens; a case that encloses an imaging device and that has an imaging portion for passing light that is to be incident into an imaging lens; and an extending portion that extends from the opening portion in the imaging direction of the imaging device. The extending portion has an extending surface that is provided with a scattering portion for scattering light through structural units. Each structural unit has a surface structure for reflecting, in at least two mutually differing directions that are inclined in relation to a first vertical plane, light that is inclined in the imaging direction relative to an axis that is perpendicular to the extending surface, and that is parallel to a first vertical plane that is perpendicular to the extending surface and that includes the optical axis of the imaging lens.

An optical image stabilizer includes a base member, a movable member that is disposed at the base member and moves along a plane orthogonal to an optical axis, a movable-member driving portion that is disposed at the base member and the movable member, and moves the movable member in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis, and a regulator that regulates a movement of the movable member along the plane orthogonal to the optical axis. The regulator regulates the movement of the movable member with two movement paths, which are a linear movement path along which the movable member moves in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis and a rotation path along which the movable member rotates around a point on the linear movement path.

A lens driving device includes a base member, a movable member that is disposed at the base member and moves in a plane that is orthogonal to an optical axis, a first driving portion that moves the movable member in a direction that is orthogonal to the optical axis in accordance with image shake, a lens frame that is mounted to the movable member and moves in a direction of the optical axis, a second driving portion that moves the lens frame in the direction of the optical axis and includes a first magnet that is secured to the movable member and a first coil that is secured to the lens frame, and a Hall element that is disposed so as to oppose the first magnet in the direction of the optical axis and detects a change in a magnetic field of the first magnet.
