摘要

A camera-integrated video recorder in which a camera portion and a recorder portion are disposed in a single casing is arranged in such a manner that a grip portion having a viewfinder and a control portion for controlling the recorder portion is rotatably and detachably fastened to the casing. The grip portion acts as a remote control device for remote-controlling the camera portion and the recorder portion when it has been detached from the casing. The casing has an image transmission circuit for transmitting monitor image information to the viewfinder in the grip portion.
