Original Abstract Submitted
An imaging device includes a holding unit that is arranged between an imaging lens and an imaging element includes an opening on which an optical element is mounted, and holds the optical element, a moving unit that moves the holding unit, a regulating unit that regulates movement of the holding unit, a detection unit that detects a position of the holding unit, a determination unit configured to determine whether the opening of the holding unit is within a predetermined range based on a detection result of the detection unit, and a control unit configured to control the moving unit based on a determination result of the determination unit. In a case where the opening of the holding unit is within the predetermined range, the opening does not block a light beam incident on an effective pixel of the imaging element.
