Abstract
A camera actuator comprises: a fixed-side member; a movable-side member provided so as to be displaced in relation to the fixed-side member, the movable-side member holding a lens unit; and a drive unit that generates drive force to displace the movable-side member within a plane including a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the drive unit generating as drive force a combined force obtained by combining a propulsion force that displaces the movable-side member in a specified direction that is either the first direction or the second direction, and a resistance force that resists an external force acting so as to cause the movable-side member to deviate from the specified direction.
