Camera with improved positioning of vibration detection sensors

摘要

A camera, which detects and compensates for vibrations affecting the camera, has improved positioning of vibration detection sensors. The camera includes a camera body having an outer cover and a lens barrel. The lens barrel has a substantially cylindrical outer portion and is positioned on the camera body to divide the camera body into a first portion and a second portion with the lens barrel therebetween. A rangefinding unit is positioned in the camera body and is covered by the outer cover of the camera body. The rangefinding unit has a surface which has a portion opposing the circumference of the outer portion of the lens barrel. A first space exists in the first portion of the camera body and has borders defined by the circumference of the outer portion of the lens barrel, the surface of the rangefinding unit and the outer cover of the camera body. A flash generation device is positioned in the second portion of the camera body and a vibration detection sensor positioned in the first space. In this manner, space inside the camera is efficiently utilized and the amount of noise affecting the vibration detection sensor is reduced.
