Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily realize a video camera use for both right-handed and left- handed persons by providing the recording start/stop button of the video camera on a turning member to be turned at a rotational center point provided at the video camera. CONSTITUTION:A video camera 1 is equipped with a lens part and a view finder part 3 and on the back, a turning member 5 is provided so as to be freely turned with a rotational center 4 as the center. Then, the turning member 5 is equipped with a recording start/stop button 6. At the other end of the turning member 5, a hand strap 7 is integrated and gives easy grasping of the video camera by a right hand or a left hand. Thus, since the recording start/stop operation can be executed by the right or left hand and the turning member 5 and the hand strap 7 are freely connected and attached/detached, the hand strap 7 is operated by both right or left hand.
