A digital camera includes a photographic lens that is provided on a camera
body of the digital camera so that an optical axis of the photographic
lens is stationary with respect to the camera body; an image pick-up
element on which an image of an object to be photographed, which is
formed through the photographic lens, is impinged; and a tilting/swinging
mechanism, provided in the camera body, for tilting and/or swinging the
image pick-up element relative to a plane orthogonal to the optical axis.
