Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a vibration device and a control substrate for outputting vibration. The control substrate controls the vibration device to vibrate during a period including a readout period of an image signal from an imaging device in an image capturing sequence. A vibration direction of the vibration device is arranged so as to be parallel with a direction of a readout wiring line (vertical signal line) of the imaging device.
