Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
When a plurality of opening units is provided for each lens unit in order to adjust the inclination and eccentricity of a lens unit, the design of an imaging device may be constrained and the size of an imaging device may increase. In order to prevent this constraint, provided are a lens barrel, an imaging element support structure, and an electronic viewfinder that may adjust the inclination and eccentricity of a lens unit by using an insertion unit including an eccentric cylinder unit and a frame support unit including a through hole including a plurality of openings having different opening widths.
