The bottom portion of the digital still camera 10 abuts against the piece 36, the front side support piece 37, the back side support piece 41, and the like, thereby preventing the digital still camera 10 from being erroneously attached to the attachment portion 32. .

  One application when used by attaching to the stand device 30 is when viewing image data stored in the internal memory of the digital still camera 10. When the image data is viewed using the display unit 17 of the digital still camera 10, the digital still camera 10 is mounted by the mounting unit 32 so that the display unit 18 side faces upward. The image displayed on can be easily viewed. In addition, operations such as image selection can be easily performed because the operation unit 43 is provided on the front side of the stand main body 31.

  In the stand device 30, the first jack portion 45 can be connected to a large display. In this case, the output destination of the image data is set to the display unit 18 of the digital still camera 10 by the switching operation unit 48 provided on the side surface part of the stand device 30 or to the display connected via the first jack unit 48. You can switch between. By this switching, when the image data is displayed on the display connected via the first jack section 48, the display section 18 of the digital still camera 10 can be turned off, thereby saving power. Can be planned.

  The connector 40 provided in the mounting portion 32 has a substantially thick plate shape, and is provided such that its long side is substantially parallel to the short side on the narrow portion 33 side. Therefore, the connector 40 is mechanically weak against an external force in the lateral direction orthogonal to the long side. On the other hand, the mounting portion 32 supports the digital still camera 10 so that the narrow portion 33 side is surrounded by the back side support piece 35, the side surface side support piece 36, and the front side support piece 37 from three directions. The portion 32 is less likely to rattle in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, for example, even when the connector 40 of the mounting portion 32 and the jack portion 17 of the digital still camera 10 are coupled, the longitudinal direction of the mounting portion 32 where the connector 40 is mechanically weak at the coupling portion of the jack portion 17 and the connector 40. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the external force from being applied, and to protect the connector 40 and the jack portion 17.

  When the digital still camera 10 is removed from the mounting portion 32, the digital still camera 10 is often removed by tilting toward the front side of the stand main body 31. This is because the mounting portion 32 is not provided with a support piece for supporting the digital still camera 10 on the front side of the stand main body portion 31 and is open.

  Therefore, when the connector 40 is detached from the jack portion 17 of the digital still camera 10, an external force is applied in the direction of arrow A in FIGS. Here, in the connector 40, the positioning portions 73 b and 73 c of the positioning member 73 are engaged with the notched recesses 74 and 74 of the connector substrate 54, and the positioning member 77 is elongated in the through hole 55 a of the mounting recess 55. It is arrange | positioned so that it may have shakiness in a direction.
