ABSTRACT:
A digital camera can retain its optical performance and has a particularly slim closed status. The digital camera (1) includes two lens groups (51, 52) installed in a collapsible lens barrel (3a), a focus lens (44), and a CCD (42) generating an image. An evading mechanism carries the front parts of the lens groups to rotate about a rotary axis parallel to the optical axis and placing the front parts beside the image sensor. When the collapsible lens barrel (3a) is retracted in the housing of the digital camera (1), the first lens group (51) and the second lens group (52) are rotated around a central axis J(2) parallel to the optical axis J(1) and are located beside the CCD (42). Thus, the axes of the first, second lens groups (51, 52) are prevented from being offset, and a thin digital camera (1) is obtained.
