Abstract
An optical image-stabilizing apparatus includes: an optical image-stabilizing unit including a movement frame and a support frame supporting the movement frame to be movable in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis; and a locking unit capable of locking the movement frame to not be moved in the direction perpendicular to the optical axis, wherein the locking unit includes: a locking barrel movable in a direction parallel to the optical axis and configured to limit movement of the movement frame according to a position in the direction parallel to the optical axis; a driving barrel rotatable and configured to transfer a driving force to the locking barrel so that the locking barrel is moved in the direction parallel to the optical axis; and a guide barrel between the locking barrel and the driving barrel and including rectilinear guide portions that extend in the direction parallel to the optical axis so that the locking barrel is moved in the direction parallel to the optical axis.
