Abstract
An optical image stabilizer includes a base member, a movable member that is disposed at the base member and moves along a plane orthogonal to an optical axis, a movable-member driving portion that is disposed at the base member and the movable member, and moves the movable member in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis, and a regulator that regulates a movement of the movable member along the plane orthogonal to the optical axis. The regulator regulates the movement of the movable member with two movement paths, which are a linear movement path along which the movable member moves in a direction orthogonal to the optical axis and a rotation path along which the movable member rotates around a point on the linear movement path.
