Abstract
An image capturing apparatus includes an image sensor unit including an image sensor board on which an image sensor is mounted, a first drive mechanism that drives the image sensor unit in a first direction orthogonal to an optical axis of the image sensor, a second drive mechanism that drives the unit in a second direction orthogonal to the optical axis and different from the first direction, and a first duct disposed on an opposite side of the board to a surface on which the sensor is mounted, in a state opposed to the board, to allow cooling air to pass therethrough. The first duct has an air suction port and an air discharge port. When viewed from the optical axis direction, the first drive mechanism, the second drive mechanism, the air suction port, and the air discharge port do not overlap around the image sensor.
