INPUT DEVICE

摘要

[PROBLEMS] To provide an input device which can contribute to the reduction in the size of, for example, an input device for zoom or shutter of a camera by using a magnetic sensor. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The input device for zoom or shutter has a structure comprising a shutter button (5), a projecting portion (8) for pressing, a tact switch (10) which is disposed on a substrate (11) and is pressed by the projecting portion (8) for pressing by pressing the shutter button (5) donward, a pivoting member pivotably supported around the shutter button (5), a magnet (15) which pivots in conjunction with the rotational movement of the pivoting member and is formed with a through hole (17) at the center and is so supported that the projecting portion (8) for pressing can be inserted into the through hole (17), and a magnetic sensor (20) which is disposed side by side with the tact switch (10) on the substrate (11) and is located at a position facing the through hole (17) in the height direction and detects a rotating magnetic field (H) generated by the magnet (15) with the rotational movement of the pivoting member.
