Note that the finger resting convex portion 301 is provided in a range that does not protrude from the outer shape of the imaging apparatus 100.

  6A to 6C are diagrams illustrating a state in which the display unit 200 of the imaging apparatus according to the present embodiment is directed rearward (in a direction opposite to the imaging direction). FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams showing a state in which the display unit 200 is directed obliquely upward in the front direction (obliquely upward with respect to the photographing direction). Further, FIGS. 8A to 8B are diagrams showing a state in which the display unit 200 is directed forward (in the photographing direction). As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, the display unit 200 is connected to the main body 150 via the hinge unit 210.

  The hinge unit 210 is connected to the main body 150 via the first connection part 220 and is connected to the display unit 200 via the second connection part 230. The hinge unit 210 is configured to be rotatable with respect to the main body 150 about the first rotating shaft 220a of the first connecting portion 220 as a central axis. Further, the display unit 200 is rotatably supported around the second rotation shaft 230a of the second connection portion 230 as a central axis. Here, the first rotating shaft 220a and the second rotating shaft 230a are parallel to each other. Further, when the imaging apparatus 100 is viewed from the side of the main body, the second rotating shaft 230a is positioned on the lens unit side with respect to the center of the display unit 200 in a state where the display unit 200 is stored in a predetermined position. Then, the main body 150 can be freely angled from the state in which the display direction of the display surface 201 of the display unit 200 is opposite to the photographing direction as shown in FIG. 6 to the state in which the display direction is directed to the photographing direction as shown in FIG. Can be changed. The second connection part 230 protrudes from the display unit 200 toward the main body 150. Therefore, the cover part 235 is configured to cover the second connection part 230.

  When performing normal shooting, the display unit 200 is changed from the housed state shown in FIG. 2 to the state in which the display surface 201 faces in the direction opposite to the imaging direction as shown in FIG. Is possible. Also, when performing face-to-face shooting, such as when performing so-called self-portrait, the operator can be on the side where the operator is shooting by changing the display surface 201 of the display unit 200 to the orientation shown in FIGS. Shooting can be performed while confirming the state of the field of view and focus.

  Since the imaging device of the present embodiment has a thin shape that matches the display unit unit 200, the ratio of the bottom surface area of the main body 150 to the volume of the imaging device 100 is large. In addition, the movable range of the display unit 200 does not greatly protrude from the outer surface of the main body 150 as shown in FIGS. The display surface 201 of the display unit 200 is a touch panel, and since the display surface is arranged on the upper surface side of the main body, the operability of the touch panel is improved and easy to use as compared with a conventional horizontal opening type imaging device. It has become. Therefore, stable imaging can be performed regardless of the angle of the display unit 200.

  In addition, the first connection portion 220 in this configuration is disposed at two locations on both sides of the end portion of the main body 150 opposite to the side where the lens unit 110 is provided. In addition, the degree of freedom of rotation of the display unit 200 is increased, the stability during handling is increased, and the internal components of the main body 150 are prevented from being disturbed as much as possible. Similarly to the first connection part 220, the second connection part 230 of the display unit 200 is arranged at two places on both sides of the display unit 200 in order to increase the degree of freedom in rotation and the stability during handling.

  FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams showing the display unit 200, the hinge unit 210, and the main body upper cover 156 when the imaging apparatus 100 is viewed from the same direction as FIGS. 6C and 8B. Here, the distance from the center of the first rotating shaft 220a of the first connecting portion 220 to the center of the second rotating shaft 230a of the second connecting portion 230 is A, and the second of the second connecting portion 230 is The distance from the center of the rotation shaft 230a to the first end 200a of the display unit 200 is B. The relationship between the distance A and the distance B is set so that A> B. The distance from the upper cover 156 of the main body 150 to the center of the second rotating shaft 230a of the second connecting portion 230 is C, and the relationship between the distance B and the distance C is C> B.

  Thus, the distance A is set to be longer than the distance B, and the distance C is set to be longer than the distance B. With this setting, the display unit 200 and the upper cover 156 of the main body 150 are disposed even when the first end 200a of the display unit 200 is in a position facing the upper cover 156 of the main body 150 as shown in FIG. Does not interfere. Therefore, the display unit 200 is freely rotated from the state in which the display surface 201 faces in the direction opposite to the imaging direction as shown in FIG. 9 to the state in which the display surface 201 faces in the same direction as the imaging direction as shown in FIG. It is possible to cope with various shooting styles.

  In the present embodiment, the example in which the first rotating shaft 220a of the first connecting portion 220 is disposed behind the main body 150 (a position away from the lens unit 110) is described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other words, the first rotation shaft 220a of the first connecting portion 220 may be disposed in front of the main body 150 (position close to the lens unit 110). Then, in a state where the display unit 200 is housed in a predetermined position of the main body 150, the second rotation shaft 230 a of the second connection portion 230 is positioned farther from the lens unit 110 than the first connection portion 220. It is good also as a structure to arrange. That is, when the imaging device 100 is viewed from the side of the main body, the second rotation shaft 230a is positioned on the opposite side of the lens unit 110 with respect to the center of the display unit 200. Even in this case, the distance A from the center of the first rotating shaft 220a to the center of the second rotating shaft 230a and the distance B from the center of the second rotating shaft 230a to the first end 200a of the display unit 200 are as follows. The relationship is A> B. The same effect can be obtained by making the relationship between the distance B and the distance C from the upper cover 156 to the center of the second rotating shaft 230a satisfy C> B.

  The control board 120 (see FIG. 1) built in the main body 150 and the display board 204 (see FIG. 1) built in the display unit 200 are electrically connected by a flexible board (FPC) 250 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 13 is an exploded view of the display unit 200 as seen from an oblique direction. The touch panel 203 is attached to the touch panel receiving portion of the front cover 205 with an adhesive member 206. Further, the display unit 202 is incorporated into the opening 205b of the front cover 205. Further, the display substrate 204 is disposed behind the display unit 202 and is electrically connected to the touch panel 203, the display unit 202, the detection switch 260, and the like. An FPC 250 for electrically connecting to the main body 150 is also connected to the display substrate 204. Further, a back cover 207 that protects the hinge unit 210 and the back surface portion and constitutes the appearance of the display unit 200 is attached. The display unit 200 is configured as described above.

  A holding magnet 270 for maintaining the storage state of the display unit 200 is disposed on the back surface of the hinge unit 210. In a normal storage state of the display unit 200 in a predetermined storage position, a magnetic body is disposed at a predetermined position on the main body 150 side facing the holding magnet 270 so that the storage state is maintained by the magnetic force of the holding magnet 270. It has become. In the present embodiment, the magnetic body 165 also serves as a holding plate on the main body side. However, the magnetic body 165 is not limited to this, and may be another member as long as it is disposed in the vicinity of the upper cover 156 of the main body 150.

  FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the display unit 200 according to the present embodiment with the back cover 207 and the like removed. When taking a self-portrait, the image pickup apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment takes a picture with the display surface 201 of the display unit 200 facing the shooting direction as illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8. At that time, when the display unit 202 is viewed by an operator who takes a self-portrait, the image displayed on the display unit 202 is upside down. Therefore, the position of the display unit 200 is detected and the display image is turned upside down. A configuration to be made is necessary. In the present embodiment, the display unit 200 includes a detection unit 260 for detecting the relative position between the display unit 200 and the hinge unit 210 in order to invert the display.
