<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an imaging apparatus capable of manually switching a light-emitting unit between a projection position and a storage position, according to a use state, because the light-emitting unit can be switched between the projection position and the storage position in conjunction with the operation of a lens barrel. <P>SOLUTION: A light-emitting unit 1 is moved between the storage position and the projection position. A slider 37 is moved between a first position and a second position, in conjunction with the movement of the lens barrel between a collapsed position and a photographic position. A toggle spring 409 energizes the light-emitting unit 1 in a direction where the light-emitting unit 1 is held in the storage position or in the projection position by the reverse of the direction of an energizing force. When the slider 37 is in the first or second position, the lever 39 of the slider 37 is located outside the movement locus of a projection 42 formed in the light-emitting unit 1. When the slider 37 is moved between the first position and the second position, the lever 39 is moved while being in contact with the projection 42, to move the light-emitting unit 1 up to a position where the energization direction of the toggle spring 409 is reversed and further, the lever 39 is located outside the movement locus of the projection 42. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
