• a housing having a front surface with an opening;
• a frame accommodated in the housing;
• a lens barrel accommodating at least one lens, the lens barrel including
• a stationary cylinder including a base fastened to the frame and a cylindrical wall extending in an axial direction from the base, and
• an extendable unit located radially inward from the cylindrical wall of the stationary cylinder, the extendable unit being extendable in the axial direction through the opening in the housing;
• a light shield configured to block light outside the lens barrel entering an optical path between a part of the extendable unit and the frame;
• and
• a pressure plate pressing the light shield against the frame and securing the light shield to the frame,
• wherein the light shield includes
• a front connector being a rectangular frame fastened to the part of the extendable unit in the lens barrel,
• a rear connector being a rectangular frame located between the pressure plate and the frame, and
• a bellows connecting the front connector and the rear connector in an expandable manner,
• the base in the stationary cylinder has
• an inner surface being rectangular and facing an outer surface of the rear connector in the light shield,
• an arc surface extending outward in an arc from the inner surface along a part of the cylindrical wall, and
• a contact surface in contact with a front surface of the pressure plate, and
• the pressure plate includes
• a pressing portion being a rectangular frame extending along the inner surface of the base in the stationary cylinder and in contact with the rear connector in the light shield, and
• an extension extending outward from the pressing portion and facing the arc surface of the base in the stationary cylinder.
