Abstract
The present technology relates to an imaging device and an electronic device that enable highly accurate adjustment of a focus position and a camera shake correction position. The device includes: a lens that focuses subject light; an imaging element that photoelectrically converts the subject light from the lens; a circuit substrate including a circuit that externally outputs a signal from the imaging element; an actuator that drives the lens with a Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) waveform in at least one of an X-axis direction, a Y-axis direction, or a Z-axis direction; and a detection unit that detects a magnetic field generated by a coil included in the actuator. The actuator drives the lens to move a focus, or drives the lens to reduce an influence of camera shake. The present technology can be applied to the imaging device.
