Imaging device

An imaging device for shooting images or video of a photographic subject, the imaging device comprising:

• an imaging element for taking an optical image of the photographic subject and generating image data therefrom;
• a main circuit board for conducting signal processing on the image data generated by the imaging element;
• an imaging element flexible cable connected to the main circuit board and on which the imaging element is mounted, the imaging element flexible cable including an imaging element flexible cable GND having a ground potential;
• a shutter that opens and closes timed to the shooting of the photographic subject;
• a shutter flexible cable connected to the main circuit board, for transferring a control signal to control the shutter, the shutter flexible cable including a shutter flexible cable GND having a ground potential;
• a mount for fixing the imaging element, and constituted from a metallic component;
• and
• a metal plate connected to the mount and disposed between the imaging element and the main circuit board;
• wherein
• the imaging element flexible cable GND and the shutter flexible cable GND are electrically connected.
