Abstract:
A liquid-crystal light-control element is configured to be suitably usable regardless of a change in lens. Toward this end, the present invention is configured such that a mount unit for mounting an interchangeable lens, the liquid-crystal light-control element for controlling incident light that is incident via a lens system within the interchangeable lens when the interchangeable lens is mounted in the mount unit, and an imaging element for photoelectrically converting the incident light using the liquid-crystal light-control element and generating an imaging image signal, are provided inside the body of an imaging device. The mount unit, the liquid-crystal light-control element, and the imaging element are disposed in the stated order from the subject side in the direction of the light axis of the incident light so as to have the stated positional relationship. The liquid-crystal light-control element can be caused to function regardless of the type of lens interchanged.
