Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes a sensor unit, a lens unit and a lens frame, a housing configured to hold the sensor unit and the lens unit, a connecting member that connects the lens frame and the housing, a cover member that covers part of a first lens disposed furthest to the image sensor, and an elastic member disposed between the first lens and the cover member. A thermal expansion coefficient of the connecting member is larger than that of each of the housing and the lens frame. The lens frame includes a first lens holding portion configured to hold the first lens. A connecting position between the connecting member and the lens frame is disposed on the image sensor side of each of a connecting position between the housing and the connecting member and a position of the first lens holding portion.
