An image pickup apparatus that reduces the number of components of a supporting mechanism for a viewfinder. A base member of the mechanism is fixed to the apparatus body, has side wall sections at both sides, and has a linear rail extended along the pulling direction and at least one circular rail extended from the linear rail on each of the side wall sections. A holding member of the mechanism is arranged inside the side wall sections of the base member while holding the viewfinder, has side walls at both sides in the width direction, has supporting shafts for each side wall that are connected to the side wall and can slide along the linear rail, is slidable in the pulling direction with the viewfinder, and is rotatable in a pulled state by moving at least one supporting shaft along the circular rail around the other supporting shaft. |

1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:
an apparatus body; a viewfinder configured to look at an image of a subject; and a supporting mechanism configured to support said viewfinder so as to enable to slide in a pulling direction and to rotate under a pulled state with respect to said apparatus body, wherein said supporting mechanism comprises: a base member configured to be fixed to said apparatus body, to have side wall sections at both sides in a width direction, and to have a linear rail extended in the pulling direction and at least one circular rail extended from the linear rail on each of the side wall sections; and a holding member configured to be arranged inside said side wall sections at both sides of said base member while holding said viewfinder, to have side walls at both sides in the width direction, to have supporting shafts for each side wall that are connected to the side wall and can slide along the linear rail, to be slidable in the pulling direction with said viewfinder, and to be rotatable in the pulled state by moving at least one supporting shaft along the circular rail around the other supporting shaft. |
