Abstract
An image pickup apparatus includes a circuit board, a solid-state image sensing device disposed on an upper surface of the circuit board, a cylindrical lens barrel disposed above the circuit board, a lens housed in the lens barrel, and a holding member that holds the lens barrel and the circuit board therein. The solid-state image sensing device is positioned in an enclosed space formed by the lens barrel and the circuit board. The lens barrel has a first flange portion protruding in a direction perpendicular to a central axis of the lens barrel. The holding member has a first fitting groove portion in which the first flange portion of the lens barrel is fit. A thermal expansion coefficient of the holding member is smaller than a thermal expansion coefficient of the lens barrel.
