Abstract
A lens moving frame according to an embodiment of the invention includes a holder portion. The holder portion includes: wall portions having guide holes formed therein; partition walls into which a guide bar is inserted and which are provided near the corresponding wall portions; and lubricant reservoir portions that are provided between the partition walls and the wall portions and have a lubricant filled and stored therein. The lubricant stored in the lubricant reservoir portion is adhered to the guide bar disposed between the partition wall and the wall portion. When the lens moving frame is moved along the guide bar, an extra lubricant is scraped off from the guide bar by the guide holes and opening portions of the partition walls and then stored in the lubricant reservoir portions.
