  FIG. 2 is a rear view of the digital camera 100 of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the digital camera 100 is provided with a viewfinder 21, a liquid crystal touch panel 22, a cover 23 that protects the liquid crystal touch panel 22, and an operation dial 26 on the back surface thereof.

  The viewfinder 21 includes a liquid crystal display device that displays an image therein. The user can look into the viewfinder 21 when photographing an image and determine the composition of the photographed image while viewing the image displayed on the viewfinder 21.

  The liquid crystal touch panel 22 displays an image captured by the image sensor of the digital camera 100 in real time, displays an image obtained by reproducing an image recorded on a recording medium, and displays various setting screens. It is. Usually, the display is switched so that an image is displayed on one of the viewfinder 21 and the liquid crystal touch panel 22.

  The liquid crystal touch panel 22 has a function as an input device in addition to a function as a display device. In other words, the liquid crystal touch panel 22 includes a capacitive touch panel and has a touch sensor function that can accept an input by a touch operation by a user's finger. The user can specify an autofocus target area, issue a shooting instruction, or select an item on the menu screen by touching the liquid crystal touch panel 22 with a finger.

  The operation dial 26 is an operation member (a so-called jog dial) that can perform a rotation operation in the horizontal direction of the camera body 5 and a push operation in a direction perpendicular to the back surface of the camera body 5 (main surface on the rear surface side of the camera). is there. For example, the user can move the cursor displayed on the liquid crystal touch panel 22 by rotating the operation dial 26 to select a desired item on the setting screen, and push the operation dial 26. Thus, the selected item can be confirmed.

  The operation dial 26 is disposed above the liquid crystal touch panel 22 and in a position close to the liquid crystal touch panel 22. Here, the position close to the liquid crystal touch panel 22 is an operation dial such that when the user operates the operation dial 26 with a finger, the finger may accidentally touch the liquid crystal touch panel 22 along with the operation. 26 positions.

  An upper protective wall portion 30 and a lower protective wall portion 28 that are formed to protrude from the rear surface of the housing 10 are provided above and below the operation dial 26, respectively. The upper protective wall 30 and the lower protective wall 28 may be collectively referred to as a protective wall. Details of the protective wall will be described later.

  Furthermore, various operation buttons 25 a to 25 c and 24 are provided on the back surface of the digital camera 100 above and to the right of the liquid crystal touch panel 22. The user can perform various operations (instructions) on the digital camera 100 by operating these operation buttons 25 a to 25 c and 24.

  Further, a grip portion 19 having a shape raised to the back side is formed on the upper right side of the back surface of the housing 10.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the digital camera 100 when viewed from the diagonally left rear. As shown in FIG. 3, the grip portion 19 is formed in a shape that rises to the back side at the upper right end portion of the back side of the digital camera 100. When the user holds the digital camera 100 with the right hand, the user can hold the digital camera 100 more firmly by pressing the grip portion 19 with the thumb of the right hand, and can prevent camera shake during shooting.
1.1 Protective wall portion The protective wall portion (projecting portion) provided above and below the operation dial 26 will be described. 4 and 5 are diagrams showing the upper protective wall portion 30 and the lower protective wall portion 28 provided above and below the operation dial 26 on the back surface of the digital camera 100 in more detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, the operation dial 26 is disposed close to and above the liquid crystal touch panel 22. In such an arrangement, when the user operates the operation dial 26 with a finger, the finger may accidentally touch the upper portion of the liquid crystal touch panel 22 in accordance with the operation. In particular, when the operation dial 26 is pushed, the pushed finger can easily touch the liquid crystal touch panel 22. When the liquid crystal touch panel 22 generates a detection signal in response to this erroneous touch, there arises a problem that an operation not intended by the user is executed in the digital camera 100.

  In the present embodiment, in order to reduce such erroneous operations, a lower protective wall portion 28 is provided between the operation dial 26 and the liquid crystal touch panel 22. The lower protective wall portion 28 is a protruding portion formed to protrude from the back surface of the housing 10. For this reason, when the user touches the operation dial 26 to operate the operation dial 26, the finger rides on the lower protective wall portion 28, so that the finger does not easily contact the surface of the liquid crystal touch panel 22. Become. Thereby, the erroneous operation with respect to the liquid crystal touch panel 22 at the time of operation of the operation dial 26 can be reduced.

  Here, an upper protective wall portion 30 is provided above the operation dial 26. The amount of protrusion of the upper protective wall portion 30 provided above the operation dial 26 from the housing 10 is smaller than the amount of protrusion of the lower protective wall portion 28 provided below the operation dial 26 from the housing 10. It has become. In this way, by providing the upper protective wall portion 30 and forming the protruding amount smaller than that of the lower protective wall portion 28, the user's finger can be moved from the upper protective wall portion 30 side as much as possible (that is, the operation dial 26). The operation dial 26 is guided by touching the operation dial 26 (from above). Thereby, the erroneous contact of the finger | toe to the surface of the liquid crystal touch panel 22 can be reduced more.

  Further, when the protruding portions of the upper protective wall portion 30 and the lower protective wall portion 28 are cut along a plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the operation dial 26, the outline of the cross-sectional shape is an arc shape. By adopting such an arc shape, the user can easily move his / her finger along the upper protective wall portion 30 and the lower protective wall portion 28, and the operability when the user rotates the operation dial 26 is improved. .

  FIG. 6 is a view for explaining the height relationship between the operation dial 26 provided on the back surface of the digital camera 100 and the lower protective wall portion 28. A straight line L indicates an extension line connecting a point A that protrudes most on the back side on the operation dial 26 and a point B that protrudes most on the back side on the lower protective wall portion 28. That is, the straight line L extends below the digital camera 100 in contact with the operation dial 26 and the portion of the lower protective wall portion 28 that protrudes to the rearmost side. As shown in FIG. 6, the height of the lower protective wall portion 28 is determined such that the straight line L does not intersect the liquid crystal touch panel 22. In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the height of the lower protective wall portion 28 is determined such that the straight line L is not parallel to the liquid crystal touch panel 22. That is, the height of the lower protective wall portion 28 is formed to be lower than the height of the operation dial 26.

  Here, the height of the operation dial 26 is the height from the back surface of the housing 10, and the plane including the surface of the liquid crystal touch panel 22 (reference plane) and the point A (most protruded to the back side on the operation dial 26. Point). Further, the height of the lower protective wall portion 28 is a height from the back surface of the housing 10 and is between the reference plane and the point B (the point that protrudes most on the back side on the lower protective wall portion 28). Distance. The same applies to the height of an upper protective wall portion to be described later.

  If the lower protective wall portion 28 is too low, finger interference with the liquid crystal touch panel 22 cannot be sufficiently prevented, and if the lower protective wall portion 28 is too high, the operation dial 26 can be operated. Sex is reduced. By setting the height of the lower protective wall portion 28 so as to satisfy such a condition, it is possible to reduce erroneous operation (erroneous contact) on the liquid crystal touch panel 22 while maintaining the operability of the operation dial 26.

  Further, it is preferable that the height of the operation dial 26 at the time of the push operation is set to be equal to or lower than the height of the lower protective wall portion 28. And the height of the upper side protection wall part 30 is set lower than the height of the operation dial 26 at the time of push operation. That is, the height when the operation dial 26 is pressed by the push operation is located between the height of the lower protective wall portion 28 and the height of the upper protective wall portion 30. Thereby, erroneous operation (erroneous contact) with respect to the liquid crystal touch panel 22 can be reduced while maintaining the operability of the operation dial 26 during the push operation.

  In order to more reliably reduce erroneous operations on the liquid crystal touch panel 22, a dead zone that is a region that does not accept touch operations may be provided in a partial region at the top of the liquid crystal touch panel 22. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the dead zone region R of the liquid crystal touch panel 22. As shown in FIG. 7, a dead zone region R in which the touch input function is disabled is provided in a part of the upper portion of the liquid crystal touch panel 22. The width of the dead zone R is set to 7 to 8 mm in consideration of the width of a human finger, for example. Here, disabling the touch input function includes the following two cases.

  1) When a touch operation is performed in the dead zone R, the liquid crystal touch panel 22 does not output a detection signal corresponding to the touch operation.

  2) When a touch operation is performed in the dead zone R, the liquid crystal touch panel 22 outputs a detection signal corresponding to the touch operation, but does not adopt the detection signal in the processing (control) of the digital camera 100 (invalid To do).

  As described above, by providing the dead zone region R on the upper part of the liquid crystal touch panel 22, a finger touches the liquid crystal touch panel 22 in spite of the presence of the lower protective wall portion 28 when the operation dial 26 is operated. However, the operation on the liquid crystal touch panel 22 is invalidated. In this way, erroneous operations on the liquid crystal touch panel 22 can be more reliably reduced.

When the dead zone region R is provided, control is performed so that a menu operated by the user is not displayed in that portion. That is, in this case, the menu display area is limited. Further, whether or not the dead zone region R is provided on the liquid crystal touch panel 22 may be appropriately set by the user.
2. Summary As described above, the digital camera 100 according to the present embodiment includes the housing 10, the liquid crystal touch panel 22 (an example of the first operation unit) that receives an operation from the user, and the operation dial 26 that receives an operation from the user. (An example of a second operation unit) and a lower protective wall formed between the liquid crystal touch panel 22 and the operation dial 26 so as to protrude from the back surface of the housing 10 in which the liquid crystal touch panel 22 and the operation dial 26 are arranged. 28 (an example of a first protective wall). With this configuration, when the operation dial 26 is operated with a finger, the finger rides on the lower protective wall portion 28, so that the touch of the finger on the liquid crystal touch panel 22 accompanying the operation can be reduced, and erroneous operations can be reduced.

  An upper protective wall portion 30 (an example of a second protective wall portion) may be disposed on the opposite side of the operation dial 26 from the lower protective wall portion 28 (above the operation dial 26) with the operation dial 26 in between. Good. At this time, the protruding amount of the upper protective wall portion 30 with respect to the housing 10 may be smaller than the protruding amount of the lower protective wall portion 28 with respect to the housing 10. Thereby, the user's finger is guided to touch the operation dial 26 from above the operation dial 26 as much as possible, and erroneous contact of the finger with the surface of the liquid crystal touch panel 22 can be further reduced.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the height of the lower protective wall portion 28 is such that the straight line L in contact with the portions A and B protruding to the rearmost side of the operation dial 26 and the lower protective wall portion 28 is the liquid crystal touch panel. The height may be set so as not to intersect with 22. Thereby, erroneous operation (erroneous contact) with respect to the liquid crystal touch panel 22 can be reduced while maintaining the operability of the operation dial 26.

As shown in FIG. 7, the liquid crystal touch panel 22 may have a dead zone region R that does not accept an input of a touch operation on a part of the operation dial 26 side. Thereby, the erroneous operation with respect to the liquid crystal touch panel 22 can be reduced more reliably.
(Embodiment 2)
In the first embodiment described above, the lower protective wall portion 28 is provided for the operation dial 26 disposed above the liquid crystal touch panel 22, but the target for providing the protective wall portion is not limited to the operation dial 26.

The three upper protection walls 29a to 29c correspond to the three operation buttons 25a to 25c, respectively. The upper protective wall portions 29 a to 29 c are formed to be lower than the lower protective wall portion 27 from the back surface of the housing 10. The three upper protective wall portions 29a to 29c may be integrally formed as one upper protective wall portion.

  Further, as shown in the 8-8 cross-sectional view of FIG. 8, the lower protective wall portion 27 is formed to be lower in height from the back surface of the housing 10 than the operation buttons 25 a to 25 c. The height when the operation buttons 25a to 25c are pressed is preferably set to be approximately the same as or lower than the height of the lower protective wall portion 27. The heights of the upper protection walls 29a to 29c are set to be lower than the height when the operation buttons 25a to 25c are pressed. Thereby, erroneous operation (erroneous contact) with respect to the liquid crystal touch panel 22 can be reduced while maintaining operability when the operation buttons 25a to 25c are pressed.

Further, the lower protective wall portion 27 may be divided into three lower protective wall portions, similarly to the upper protective wall portions 29a to 29c. In this case, it is preferable that the width in the left-right direction of each of the divided lower protection walls is larger than the corresponding operation buttons 25a to 25c. This is to prevent erroneous operation of the liquid crystal touch panel 22 with respect to the operation of the operation buttons 25a to 25c from the left or right.
