Abstract
An optical apparatus having a movable member movable with a stepping motor as a drive source, and movement controller for moving the movable member to a set position. The movement controller step-drives the stepping motor in one direction by a first frequency so that the movable member may bear against a stopper member, and after the bearing of the movable member against the stopper member is discriminated, step-drives the stepping motor by a predetermined amount in the other direction by a second frequency, which is smaller than the first frequency, and the position of the movable member in that state is defined as the set position.
