Abstract
An optical unit with a runout correction function includes a reflection member, a camera module having a lens and an image pickup element, a holding member that rotatably holds the reflection member and also holds the camera module, and a fixing member that rotatably holds the holding member. A second rotation mechanism rotates the reflection member held in the holding member with an optical axis direction, which is a direction of an optical axis of the lens, as an axis direction of the rotation and is capable of runout correction in a yaw direction. In the optical unit with a runout correction function, when the runout correction in the yaw direction is performed, the image pickup element held in the holding member is rotated together with the reflection member with the optical axis direction as the axis direction of rotation.
