A camera having a lens barrel housed therein includes a reflection optical
member for reflecting a light beam incident along a first optical axis
(O1) from a subject so as to reflect the light beam toward a second
optical axis (O2) intersecting the first optical axis; a light-quantity
adjusting member for adjusting the quantity of incident light from the
subject; and a drive source for displacing the light-quantity adjusting
member, in which by displacing the light-quantity adjusting member, the
quantity of the incident light from the subject can be adjusted, and the
light-quantity adjusting member is displaced in a direction substantially
perpendicular to an optical axial plane inclusive of the first optical
axis and the second optical axis so as to adjust the light-quantity.
