Abstract
A technique enabling accurate positioning of a flexible printed circuit board and a magnetic sensor to an image blur correction device. A lens holding section holds a correction lens in a manner movable in a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. A Hall element is mounted on the flexible printed circuit board to detect change in magnetic field of a magnet provided in the lens holding section. A Hall element-holding section holds the Hall element. An area of the flexible printed circuit board where the Hall element is mounted is locked to the Hall element-holding section in a manner movable in the first direction in a state restricted in movement in the second direction. The Hall element is movable relative to the Hall element-holding section in the second direction, in a state restricted in movement in the first direction.
