Abstract
An image pickup apparatus which can precisely adjust the inclination of CCD sensor relative to an optical axis in a easy and simple manner is disclosed. A mount adjustment mechanismincludes a mountfor supporting a CCD sensor, a steel ballsecured relative to a rearward barreland threaded adjuster membersdisposed between the mountand the rearward barrel. The steel balldefines a mount reference for positioning the mount. By changing the depth to which the threaded adjuster membersare threaded, an angular orientation of the mountwith respect to the rearward barrelis changed to correct the inclination in the CCD sensor.
