An optical-element driving device includes: a holding groove formed in a first fixing part to hold a first supporting part; and a first biasing part including an elastic member and a spacer that are disposed with the first supporting part in the holding groove. The first biasing part biases the first supporting part toward a first movable part by the elastic member via the spacer. The first supporting part includes a pair of ball rows arranged at an interval from each other outside of the first movable part. Each ball row is parallel to an optical axis. The ball rows being held respectively by different ones of a plurality of the holding grooves. The first biasing part biases one of the ball rows obliquely with respect to a formation direction in which one of the holding grooves for holding another one of the ball rows is formed.

A blur correction device includes a processor and a memory that is built into or coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to acquire an amount of blur correction used to correct blurring of an image obtained by imaging of an imaging element during exposure for one frame in the imaging element, and correct the blurring by performing image processing based on a most recently acquired amount of blur correction, on an unfinished image that is the image less than one frame that is being read from the imaging element. In a case in which a first reading period does not overlap with a second reading period, the processor corrects the blurring by performing the image processing based on the amount of blur correction acquired during exposure between the first reading period and the second reading period, on the unfinished image of the subsequent frame.

A low height type actuator capable of performing a two-dimensional motion includes a magnet structure that includes a first array in which the first and second magnets are alternately arranged in x-direction and a second array in which the first and second magnets are alternately arranged in y-direction, and first and second wirings. The first wiring crosses the first magnets included in the first array in y-direction, and the second wiring crosses the first magnets included in the second array in x-direction. According to the present invention, by making current flow in the first and second wirings, a two-dimensional motion can be achieved. Further, since the first and second wirings are each a planar wiring that crosses the magnets, height reduction can be achieved.

An image stabilization apparatus includes a fixing member, a movable member, a guiding member movable in a first direction orthogonal to the optical axis relative to the fixed member, and configured to guide the movable member while restricting a rotation of the movable member on the plane orthogonal to the optical axis relative to the fixed member, and a rolling member rollably held between the fixed member and the guiding member. The fixing member includes a first groove extending in the first direction and contacts the rolling member. The guiding member includes a second groove that extends in the first direction and contacts the rolling member. The rolling member can contact an end of the first groove and an end of the second groove while the guiding member is located at one of ends in a movable range of the guiding member in the first direction.
