A lens actuator includes: a lens barrel accommodating one or more lenses; and a driving unit to move the lens barrel along an optical axis direction. The driving unit includes a driving wire, at least a portion of which is extended in the optical axis direction, and a length of which is changed as voltage is applied thereto, and a driving transmission unit connected to the driving wire to move the lens barrel along the optical axis direction as the length of the driving wire is changed such that a distance by which the lens barrel is moved by the driving transmission unit is greater than an amount of change in the length of the driving wire.

An optical system is provided. The optical system includes a first optical module with a first light-entering hole, a second optical module with a second light-entering hole, and a third optical module with a third light-entering hole. The second light-entering hole is close to the first light-entering hole and the third light-entering hole. The focal length of the second optical module is different from the focal length of the first optical module and the focal length of the third optical module.

Provided are a device and a method by which high-precision auto focus (AF) processing can be performed while a focus lens or a zoom lens is being operated. An interchangeable lens acquires position information regarding a focus lens and a zoom lens at a predetermined time interval during an exposure time period of detection information acquisition pixels for use in calculation of a defocus amount (DF), and outputs the position information to an imaging device. The imaging device calculates the defocus amount (DF) by using information regarding the detection information acquisition pixels, calculates a reference focus lens position (Ref_fc) by using points, on a cam curve, corresponding to the inputted lens position information, calculates a target focus lens position (Tgt_fc) in an in-focus position, from the reference focus lens position (Ref_fc) and the defocus amount (DF), and outputs the target focus lens position (Tgt_fc) to the interchangeable lens.
