Abstract
A camera device includes an image sensor which images a subject, a lens unit that includes a lens for forming an image of the subject on a light receiving surface of the image sensor, a shaking corrector that includes a movable portion that includes the image sensor and moves the movable portion in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens unit according to shaking of the camera device to correct shaking, and a gravity support that supports the movable portion in a direction opposite to a direction of a component force of the gravity with a force equal to a component force of gravity applied to the movable portion along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis of the lens unit.
