A lens barrel comprises an outer frame and an inner frame. The lens barrel has a first state, a second state, and a third state during operation in which the outer frame and the inner frame rotate relatively. In the first state, a first cam follower is guided by a first cam. In the second state, the first cam follower is guided by the first cam, and a second cam follower is guided by a second cam. In the third state, the second cam follower is guided by the second cam. In the third state, at least part of the first cam follower enters a space formed by a recess portion or a hole portion.
1. A lens barrel comprising:
an outer frame including at least one lens and a lens support portion configured to support the lens; and
an inner frame configured to guide the outer frame in the optical axis direction, at least part of the inner frame disposed on the inside of the outer frame, and wherein
the inner frame guides the outer frame via at least any one of a first cam mechanism and a second cam mechanism,
a plurality of operation states, in which the outer frame and the inner frame rotate relatively, including:
a first state in which the inner frame guides the outer frame via the first cam mechanism,
a second state in which the inner frame guides the outer frame via the first cam mechanism and the second cam mechanism, and
a third state in which the inner frame guides the outer frame via the second cam mechanism.
2. The lens barrel according to claim 1 , wherein
at least part of the lens forms the external appearance seen by the user.
3. The lens barrel according to claim 1 , wherein
the lens support portion includes a recess portion that is recessed in the optical axis direction, or a hole portion that passes through in the optical axis direction,
the first cam mechanism includes a first cam follower and a first cam that guides the first cam follower,
the second cam mechanism includes a second cam follower and a second cam that guides the second cam follower, and
in the third state, at least part of the first cam follower enters a space formed by the recess portion or the hole portion.
4. A lens barrel comprising:
an outer frame; and
an inner frame configured to guide the outer frame in the optical axis direction, at least part of the inner frame disposed on the inside of the outer frame, and wherein
the inner frame guides the outer frame via at least any one of a first cam mechanism and a second cam mechanism,
a plurality of operation states, in which the outer frame and the inner frame rotate relatively, including:
a first state in which the inner frame guides the outer frame via the first cam mechanism,
a second state in which the inner frame guides the outer frame via the first cam mechanism and the second cam mechanism, and
a third state in which the inner frame guides the outer frame via the second cam mechanism.
