Digital camera with storage portion provided beneath electronic and mode dials

摘要

Provided is a digital camera including an electronic dial and a mode dial on an upper portion of a camera main unit, where upper surfaces of these dials approximately flush with an upper surface of the main unit, and are arranged in parallel with the optical axis of the main unit. The length from the upper end to the lower end of the mode dial is approximately the same as the length from the upper end of the electronic dial to a lower end of an encoder arranged below the electronic dial. This configuration forms a space in a box shape below these dials, and the space below the electronic dial can be efficiently used by setting the space as the storage portion for a recording medium to be inserted from the outside, resulting in downsizing the camera without sacrificing the operability.

主权项

1. A digital camera having an electronic dial and a mode dial on an upper portion of a camera main unit, said digital camera comprising:
upper surfaces of the electronic dial and the mode dial being approximately flush with an upper surface of the camera main unit; the electronic dial and the mode dial being arranged so that a line joining an axis of the mode dial on the front surface side of the camera main unit, and an axis of the electronic dial on the rear surface side of the camera main unit is parallel with an optical axis of a lens of the camera main unit on the end portion of the camera main unit; a length from the upper end to the lower end of the mode dial, in a direction transverse to the upper surface of the camera main unit and transverse to the optical axis, being approximately a same as a length from the upper end of the electronic dial to the lower end of an encoder located below the electronic dial.
