Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor, a frame configured to support the image sensor, and one or more driving members configured to move the frame in a direction parallel with an imaging plane of the image sensor. The driving members include a vibration unit that generates vibration. The vibration unit of at least one of the driving members overlaps a center of the imaging plane of the image sensor, when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the imaging plane of the image sensor.
