1. An image capturing apparatus including:
a movable part having an image sensor,
a fixed part that holds the movable part such that the movable part is swingable within a plane orthogonal to an image capturing optical axis,
a first metal member that is connected to the movable part, and
a heat dissipation unit that is attached to the fixed part,
wherein the heat dissipation unit comprises:
a contact member disposed such that the contact member is movable in an image capturing optical axis direction between a contact position where the contact member is in contact with the first metal member and a spaced position where the contact member is spaced from the first metal member; and
a heat conducting member that connects between the contact member and a predetermined member, and
wherein in a state in which the contact member is in the contact position, heat generated by the image sensor is transferred to the predetermined member via the first metal member, the contact member, and the heat conducting member.
