Abstract
An image capturing apparatus that can cool an image sensor without interfering with an anti-vibration movement of the image sensor. An image sensor substrate implements an image sensor. A control circuit substrate controls an entire apparatus. An anti-vibration mechanism moves the image sensor substrate in a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of a lens. A cooling fan and a first duct are arranged behind the control circuit substrate in an optical axis direction opposite to the lens. A second duct is branched from the first duct and dissipates heat of the image sensor substrate. Inside spaces of the first and second ducts are spatially separated from the substrates. The second duct is arranged at a position that partially overlaps with the image sensor substrate in viewing from a top and that does not touch the image sensor substrate even when the image sensor substrate moves to a closest position.
