Abstract
An imaging device includes an image pickup element that captures an object image to generate image data, a sensor holder that holds the image pickup element, a sensor driver that moves the sensor holder in a plane orthogonal to an optical axis, a fixing mechanism that mechanically fixes the sensor holder at a predetermined position, and a controller that controls the fixing mechanism based on a signal indicating a degree of displacement of the image pickup element due to an external force.
