An imaging device includes an image stabilizer which detects vibration
applied to a photographing optical system and moves at least one optical
element of the photographing optical system in a plane orthogonal to a
common optical axis of the photographing optical system to counteract
image shake in accordance with a direction and a magnitude of the
vibration; and a radially-retracting device which moves the optical
element between a photographing position, at which the optical element is
located on the common optical axis in a photographic state, and a
radially-retracted position, at which the optical element is radially
retracted away from the common optical axis in a non-photographing state.
