1. A camera actuator, comprising:
a fixed-side member;
a movable-side member provided so as to be displaceable with respect to the fixed-side member and holding a lens part; and
a driving section including a driving mechanism that generates a driving force that displaces the movable-side member within a plane including a first direction which is a direction of a light entering the lens and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, wherein:
the driving mechanism includes a pair of driving mechanism parts that generate, for autofocusing, a driving force in the same direction to displace the movable-side member in the first direction,
the pair of driving mechanism parts generates as the driving force a resultant force obtained by combining thrust that displaces the movable-side member in a specific direction that is the first direction, and a resistance force that resists an external force acting so as to cause the movable-side member to deviate from the specific direction; and
the pair of driving mechanism parts generates the resistance force based on a spare data stored by calibration performed in advance,
wherein:
the spare data includes an amount of displacement of the movable-side member in the specific direction in the autofocusing, an amount of deviation of the movable-side member from the specific direction corresponding to the amount of displacement, and a current value which sets the amount of deviation to zero; and
the resistance force is a force to reduce the amount of deviation of the movable-side member corresponding to the amount of displacement of the movable-side member in the specific direction in the autofocusing.
