Original Abstract Submitted
An image capturing apparatus includes an image capturing element, a first circuit board to mount the image capturing element on the first circuit board, a second circuit board facing the first circuit board, a fan, and a first flexible board electrically connect the first circuit board and the second circuit board. The image capturing element moves within a movable range in a direction different from an optical axis direction. The first flexible board is bent in an area that overlaps with the movable range of the image capturing element in the optical axis direction. When viewed from a direction orthogonal to an optical axis, an orientation of an exhaust opening of the fan is arranged toward an inner surface of a bending portion of the first flexible board closest to the first circuit board at a center position of the movable range of the image capturing element.
