Abstract
A lens apparatus includes a first lens holding member configured to hold a lens, and an actuator configured to move the first lens holder in an optical axis direction. The lens apparatus transfers to a retracted state by moving the first lens holding member to a retracted position via the actuator from an image picking-up state. The lens apparatus further includes a stopper configured to move in a direction different from the optical axis direction between a first position at which the stopper restricts a movement of the first lens holding member and a second position off the first position, and a driving member configured to move the stopper from the second position to the first position relative to the first lens holding member that has moved to the retreated position.
Claims6
A lens apparatus comprising:
- a first lens holding member configured to hold a lens;
- an actuator configured to move the first lens holding member in an optical axis direction, the lens apparatus transferring to a retracted state by moving the first lens holding member to a retracted position via the actuator from an image picking-up state;
- a stopper configured to be capable of moving in a direction different from the optical axis direction between a first position at which the stopper restricts a movement, to an object side in the optical axis direction, of the first lens holding member and a second position off the first position;
- and
- a driving member configured to move the stopper from the second position to the first position relative to the first lens holding member that has moved to the retreated position.
An image pickup apparatus comprising a lens apparatus that includes a first lens holding member configured to hold a lens, an actuator configured to move the first lens holding member in an optical axis direction, the lens apparatus transferring to a retracted state by moving the first lens holding member to a retracted position via the actuator from an image picking-up state, a stopper configured to be capable of moving in a direction different from the optical axis direction between a first position at which the stopper restricts a movement, to an object side in the optical axis direction, of the first lens holding member and a second position off the first position, and a driving member configured to move the stopper from the second position to the first position relative to the first lens holding member that has moved to the retreated position.
