Abstract
Disclosed herein is a drive device including an imaging element creating a image signal relating to an object image, a securing body, a displacement body capable of displacement in a predetermined direction in a predetermined plane having a light-receiving surface of the imaging element with respect to the securing body with the imaging element mounted to the displacement body, and a first guide mechanism and a second guide mechanism adapted each to guide displacement of the displacement body in the predetermined direction. The second guide mechanism includes a guide device, and a guided device. The guide device is configured to be positionally changeable in a plane parallel to the predetermined plane. The displacement body is turnably displaced with the first guide mechanism serving as a fulcrum when the guided device is displaced in response to the positional change of the guide device.
