However, in the above-mentioned conventional example, since the flexible printed board is held by one supporting member, the flexible printing is performed in the lens barrel in which the moving amount of the moving barrel is relatively large. If a moving member such as a cam barrel is arranged outside the board, the slack of the flexible printed circuit board due to the movement of the moving barrel cannot be absorbed completely, and the slack interferes with the peripheral members, causing the movement of the moving barrel to be poor. There was a problem that it became uncomfortable and an unpleasant sound was generated.
