Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes a fixed member, a movable member holding an image sensor and movable in a direction orthogonal to an optical axis, a drive unit that drives the movable member, a rollable member disposed between the fixed and movable members, a first yoke member disposed on the fixed member, a second yoke member disposed on the movable member, and a magnet member disposed on the first or second yoke member. A surface of the first yoke member and a surface of the second yoke member overlap each other in a first direction orthogonal to an optical axis direction. A surface of the first yoke member and a surface of the second yoke member overlap each other in a second direction parallel to the optical axis. The magnet, first yoke, and second yoke members form a magnetic circuit passing through the first to fourth surfaces.
