Claims3
An imaging device comprising:
- a body unit equipped with a control circuit board;
- a shifting member equipped with an electric component, wherein the shifting member is configured to shift in an optic-axial direction relative to the body unit;
- a flexible printed board configured to connect the electric component to the control circuit board;
- a rotary unit that rotates to drive the shifting member;
- and
- a shifting cam barrel provided inside the rotary unit and configured to shift in the optic-axial direction relative to the body unit,
- wherein the rotary unit has a through-hole for guiding the flexible printed board and an engaging portion that engages with a driving pin of the shifting cam barrel, and
- the through-hole for guiding the flexible printed board has a round configuration at a portion where the through-hole and the engaging portion intersect with each other.
