A guide bar used in a video lens barrel in the related art has problems of
deterioration in supporting accuracy of the lens retaining frame, high
manufacturing cost, and upsizing of the lens barrel. Also, in a cam pin
type lens barrel, how the lens retaining frame is supported by the cam
pins may not be clear. Therefore, by providing a plurality of guiding
members on the inner surface of the fixed barrel of the lens barrel, and
allowing a plurality of engaging portions on the lens retaining frames to
engage the guiding members, the lens retaining frames are supported so as
to be capable of moving in the direction of the optical axis. By
differentiating the length of engagement of the respective engaging
portions, the roles of the respective engaging portions on the lens
retaining frames for supporting the lens unit in a space are clarified.
