Enhancement of the functionality of image stabilization is achieved while smooth operation of a movable body is ensured. A lens barrel includes a lens unit including at least one lens, a first magnet for performing image stabilization in at least one of a first direction or a second direction, a second magnet for performing image stabilization in a rolling direction, a first coil that forms a magnetic circuit together with the first magnet, and moves the lens unit in at least one of the first direction or the second direction, a second coil that forms a magnetic circuit together with the second magnet, and rotates the lens unit in the rolling direction, and a mounting body having the first magnet and the second magnet mounted thereon. When the lens unit is moved in at least one of the first direction or the second direction, the first magnet, the second magnet, and the mounting body are integrally operated.

Lens barrel and imaging apparatus

An image-capturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes a base plate, a base body, a lens holding section, and a first bonding material. An imaging element is implemented on the base plate. The base body includes a first surface portion arranged to be oriented toward the base plate, and is connected to the base plate. The lens holding section includes a second surface portion spaced from the first surface portion, and holds a lens section that forms an image of light that enters the lens section. The first bonding material is filled into a space between the first surface portion and the second surface portion to connect the base body and the lens holding section.

Image-capturing apparatus

An imaging unit of the disclosure includes an imaging lens including a first lens group and a second lens group that are disposed in order from object side toward image side, and an imaging device that converts an optical image formed by the imaging lens into an electric signal. The second lens group and the imaging device are rotationally moved integrally to allow the second lens group and the imaging device to be tilted with respect to an optical axis of the first lens group.
