Optical element driving device, interchangeable lens, and imaging device

An interchangeable lens comprising:

• an optical element driving device configured to drive an optical element and arranged inside a cylindrical casing,
• wherein the optical element driving device includes
• an interlock member configured to be operated by rotational force of a rotationally-manipulated manipulation ring, and operate the optical element by transmitting rotational force of the manipulation ring to the optical element, and
• a changeover mechanism configured to change over an operation direction of the optical element with respect to a rotation direction of the manipulation ring is provided at least on the interlock member.

An imaging device comprising:

• an optical element driving device configured to drive an optical element, and an image sensor configured to convert an optical image captured via an optical system into an electrical signal,
• wherein the optical element driving device includes
• an interlock member configured to be operated by rotational force of a rotationally-manipulated manipulation ring, and operate the optical element by transmitting rotational force of the manipulation ring to the optical element, and
• a changeover mechanism configured to change over an operation direction of the optical element with respect to a rotation direction of the manipulation ring is provided at least on the interlock member.
