Abstract
In an imaging apparatus, a protrusion member of a lens barrel is arranged to protrude, from an outer surface of a barrel body, toward a direction away from an optical axis of a lens. The protrusion member includes an upper portion. The upper portion is located above the optical axis of the lens, and has an upper end. The protrusion member includes a lower portion. The lower portion is located below the optical axis of the at least one lens, and has a lower end. The upper end of the upper portion has a first minimum distance with respect to the optical axis of the lens, and the lower end of the lower portion has a second minimum distance with respect to the optical axis of the lens. The protrusion member is configured such that the first minimum distance is smaller than the second minimum distance.
