状況や撮影範囲を決めるフアインダーの役目をする。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First
The figure shows a camera body 1 having a built-in recording medium such as an IC card, and a support frame 5 in which an image pickup unit 2, a strobe light emitting unit 3, and a photometric colorimetric sensor 4 are integrally provided. ing. When photographing is not performed, the support frame 5 is housed in the recess 6 to be compact, and the lens and the flash unit are protected. FIG. 2 shows the camera body 1 and the support frame 5
The image pickup unit 2 provided with the image pickup device 8 behind the photographing lens 7, the strobe light emitting unit 3, and the photometric colorimetric sensor 4 are integrally provided with the support frame 5. They are rotatably connected by joints 9a and 9b. The electric wires 10a and 10b for transmitting electric signals between the image pickup device 8, the photometric colorimetric sensor 4 and the camera body 1 and the electric wire 11c for supplying power to the strobe light emitting unit 3 are arranged inside the engaging portions 9a and 9b. Each is wired inside the camera body. Here, the imaging unit and the strobe light emitting unit are electromagnetically shielded by the electromagnetic shielding plate 11. Further, the imaging unit and the strobe light emitting unit are arranged as far apart as possible so as to have a red-eye prevention effect. In this embodiment, the imaging unit 2, the strobe light emitting unit, and the photometric colorimetric sensor 4 are integrally mounted on the support frame 5, but they may be independently mounted and rotated in conjunction with each other. Third
In the figure, a liquid crystal display panel 12 is provided on the back surface of the camera body 1 and serves as a finder for determining a subject state and a photographing range.
