An image-capturing device comprising:
- an image-capturing element that converts light to an electrical signal;
- a photographic lens member that includes a photographic lens portion and a holding portion for holding the photographic lens and condenses subject light at the image-capturing element;
- a board on which the image-capturing element is mounted;
- an elastic member having one end thereof secured to the photographic lens member and another end thereof secured to the board;
- a drive device that moves the board and the photographic lens member relatively to each other along a direction substantially perpendicular to an optical axis of the photographic lens member;
- a vibration detection sensor secured to the board, which outputs an electrical signal corresponding to an extent of vibration of the image-capturing device;
- a position detection sensor secured to a board, which outputs an electrical signal corresponding to a position representing relative movement of the board and the photographic lens member;
- and
- a vibration-proofing control unit that implements drive control on the drive device in conformance to outputs from the vibration detection sensor and the position detection sensor.
