As shown in FIG. 3(a), the bearing 44 includes a bottom portion 44C that is screwed and placed on the base 43, and a hole 44a through which one end of the first rotating shaft 41 passes, and is erected from the bottom portion 44c toward X direction extends in parallel The support portion 44d has a hole 44b that is axially supported by one end of the second rotating shaft 42, and a support portion 44e that is erected from the bottom portion 44c and extends in parallel in the Y-axis direction.

As shown in FIG. 3(b), a positioning projection 44f that is dispersed in a concave portion (not shown) formed on the surface of the base 43 is provided on the back surface of the bottom portion 44c of the bearing 44. Thereby, the positioning of the bearing 44 to the base 43 can be easily performed. Further, in the present embodiment, the screw hole is formed in the bottom portion 44c of the bearing 44, and the positioning projection 44f is engaged with the recessed portion of the base 43 to prevent unnecessary rotation while using the screw screw from the back surface of the hinge unit 4. The bearing 44 is fixed to the base 43 by solids, but may be consolidated by an adhesive.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the first quick release mechanism M1 that detachably connects the main body portion 2 and the hinge unit 4 is an engagement projection 21a of the main body portion 2, and the engagement hole 46a of the hinge unit 4 is engaged with the engagement hole 46a of the hinge unit 4.

The engagement groove 31a is locked and removed.

Further, wiring (not shown) that connects the main body unit 2 and the liquid crystal display 3 is disposed in the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42. The first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42 are tubular pins, and may be wired therein. Moreover, the wiring can be protected by covering with an insulating tube or the like which is formed into a bent pipe type, a resin tube or the like. Further, the threading through mode can be selected in accordance with the arrangement of the liquid crystal display 3 and the respective rotating shafts.

Next, a description will be given of a procedure for rotating the liquid crystal display 3 around the longitudinal direction of the camera (Y axis), that is, when the first rotating shaft 41 is rotated.

First, the engaging projection 21a is disengaged from the engaging hole 46a by causing the trigger 21 of the main body portion 2 to slide against the spring 22 to the right of the paper surface of FIG.

On the other hand, the convex portion 47 of the hinge unit 4 is engaged with the engagement groove 31a (as shown in FIG. 5), and the liquid crystal display 3 and the hinge unit 4 are integrally fixed.

Thereby, the liquid crystal display 3 and the hinge unit 4 can be rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise on the paper surface of FIG. 4 around the first rotating shaft 41.

In this manner, only the first quick release mechanism M1 is released, and the liquid crystal display 3 can be easily moved to the first open position, that is, the liquid crystal display 3 is vertically raised to the main body portion 2 on the first rotating shaft 41.

When the liquid crystal display 3 at the first open position is housed in the main body portion 2, the hinge unit 4 is rotated clockwise around the first rotating shaft 41 on the paper surface of FIG.

A chamfered beveled guide portion 21b is formed at an end portion of the upper surface of the trigger 21 that faces the hinge unit 4. When the hinge unit 4 is in contact with the inclined surface guiding portion 21b, the trigger 21 slides toward the right side of the paper surface of FIG. 4 against the spring 22, and when the hinge unit 4 is housed in the main body portion 2, the trigger 21 is biased by the elastic force of the spring 22. Return to the left side of the paper on Figure 4. Therefore, the engaging projection 21a of the trigger 21 is engaged with the engaging hole 46a, and the liquid crystal display 3 can be fixed to the main body 2.

Next, the order of the liquid crystal display 3 in the lateral direction (X-axis) of the camera, that is, the rotation around the second rotating shaft 42 will be described.

First, the convex portion 47 of the hinge unit 4 is detached from the engaging groove 31a, and The liquid crystal display 3 and the hinge unit 4 are separated.

On the other hand, the engaging projection 21a of the main body portion 2 is engaged with the engaging hole 46a of the hinge unit 4, and the main body portion 2 and the hinge unit 4 are integrally fixed.

Thereby, the liquid crystal display 3 is rotatable upward about the second rotating shaft 42 in a direction perpendicular to the sheet of FIG.

In this manner, only the second quick release mechanism M2 is released, and the liquid crystal display 3 can be easily moved to the second open position, that is, the liquid crystal display 3 is perpendicular to the main body portion 2 on the second rotating shaft 42.

When the liquid crystal display 3 of the second open position is housed in the hinge unit 4, only the liquid crystal display 3 is rotated about the second rotating shaft 42 in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the paper of FIG. 5, and the convex portion of the hinge unit 4 is opened. When the 47 is engaged with the engaging groove 31a, the liquid crystal display 3 can be fixed to the hinge unit 2.

As described above, when the liquid crystal display 3 is moved from the closed position to the first open position or the second open position, the digital camera 1 of the present embodiment can directly and simply move without passing through the other open position.

Further, by providing a torsion coil spring around the first rotating shaft 41 and the second rotating shaft 42, the liquid crystal display 3 can be operated in the first open position and the second open position by operating the trigger 21 and the convex portion 47. When it is turned on, the liquid crystal display 3 is automatically turned on.

Further, when the frictional resistance between the first rotating shaft 41 or the second rotating shaft 42 and the bearing 44 is weak, two discs or the like are provided around the bearing 44, and the spring applies pressure between the discs to the first rotating shaft 41. or The second rotating shaft 42 imparts resistance, thereby preventing inadvertent movement to the closed position from the first open position or the second open position. In addition, the liquid crystal display 3 can also be fixed by an emergency stop at a certain angle or the like.

Next, the vertical and horizontal switching screens displayed on the menu screen of the liquid crystal display 3 can be explained. Here, the menu screen includes icons or text information suitable for changing various settings at the time of shooting.

As shown in FIG. 6, the digital camera 1 of the present embodiment includes a detecting unit 23 that detects the inclination of the main body unit 2, and determines from the inclination of the main body unit 2 whether the posture of the main body unit 2 is a posture of a longitudinal position or a lateral position. The memory 24 is a memory unit 25 for the vertical position use menu m1 and the horizontal position use menu m2 which are orthogonal to each other at 90 degrees; the vertical position menu m1 or the horizontal position menu m2 is displayed in response to the posture of the main body unit 2 The display control unit 26 of the liquid crystal electronic display 3.

The detecting unit 23 only needs to detect the inclination of the main body portion in the horizontal direction. For example, in the simplest configuration, a tilt sensor such as a gravity sensor can be used.

The posture determination unit 24 has a determination value as a reference when it is determined that the posture of the main body unit 2 is a vertical position or a lateral position. The posture determination unit 24 compares the determination value with the inclination of the main body unit 2 detected by the detection unit 23, and determines that the posture of the main body unit 2 is a vertical position or a lateral position. Regarding this determination value, for example, when the aspect ratio of the liquid crystal display 3 is 9:16, it is considered that it can be set to 29.5. Thereby, since t an ^-1 (9/16)=29.5°, when the liquid crystal display 3 having an aspect ratio of 9:16 is only inclined by 29.5°, that is, the diagonal line of the liquid crystal display 3 is parallel to the horizontal direction. The posture of the main body portion 2 is determined based on the angle. Moreover, the determination value can also be switched in accordance with various modes. Since the photographer takes the posture in which the main body portion 2 is kept as horizontal as possible, the determination value can be set to 45°. Moreover, it is also possible to have hysteresis with each other.

The memory unit 25 only needs to memorize the vertical position menu m1 and the horizontal position menu m2. For example, a memory such as a ROM can be used.

The vertical position menu m1 is as shown in FIG. 7, and when the posture of the main body portion 2 is the vertical position, the display information displayed on the liquid crystal display 3 is displayed in the erect image state. The vertical position use menu m1 is such that the vertical position of the vertical position menu m1 coincides with the camera lateral direction X, and the one close to the first rotation axis 41 is set to the upper side.

As shown in FIG. 8, the horizontal position menu m2 is used to display the display information displayed on the liquid crystal electronic display 3 in the erect image state when the posture of the main body portion 2 is the horizontal position. The horizontal position selection menu m2 is such that the vertical position of the horizontal position menu m2 coincides with the camera longitudinal direction Y, and the one close to the second rotation axis 42 is set to the upper side.

The display control unit 26 displays the vertical position menu m1 or the horizontal position menu m2 stored in the memory unit 25 on the liquid crystal electronic display 3 in response to the determination result of the posture determining unit 24.

Thereby, as shown in FIG. 7, in the case where the photographer places the digital camera 1 in the longitudinal position, the longitudinal position menu m1 is displayed on the liquid crystal electronic display 3, as shown in FIG. 8, the photographer sets the digital camera 1 In the case of being placed in the lateral position, the lateral position is displayed on the liquid crystal electronic display 3 using the menu m2. Therefore, the photographer can simply photograph the liquid crystal electronic display 3 in a state where it is easy to recognize.

The front end portion 67b of the stopper 67 is locked to the groove 33 formed in the frame 31 of the liquid crystal display 3 through the side surface of the shade 6.

Thereby, the hood 6 is integrally fixed to the liquid crystal display 3.

Next, a digital camera 7 according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 16 and 17 . Here, the same components as those of the digital camera of the second embodiment will not be repeatedly described.

As shown in Fig. 16, the digital camera 7 of the present embodiment includes a magnifying glass positioning worm 82 provided on a column 81 for supporting a focus point adjusting magnifier 65 and a worm wheel 83 meshing with a magnifying glass positioning worm 82. Magnifying glass position adjustment mechanism M3.

The focus point adjustment magnifier 65 is mounted to be rotatable about the upper end portion 81a of the upright column 81. Thereby, when the hood 6 is folded, the focus point adjustment magnifier 65 is housed inside the front side wall surface portion 64 of the hood 6. Moreover, when the focus point adjustment magnifier 65 is used, the upright column 81 can be rotated and expanded using the focus point adjustment magnifier 65.

The column 81 is formed at substantially the same height (for example, 50 mm) as the front side wall surface portion 64 of the shade 6, and is housed inside the front side wall surface portion 64 when the hood 6 is folded.

The locomotive positioning worm 82 is attached to the side of the column 81 The end portion 81b is extended. The locomotive positioning worm 82 is configured to expand and contract with the rotation of the worm wheel 83, and only the feed amount (for example, 25 mm) of the louver positioning worm 82 can move the column 81.

The worm wheel 83 is mounted to be rotatable on the front side wall surface portion 64 of the hood 6. The worm wheel 83 has a protruding portion 83a that protrudes outward from the front side wall surface portion 64. The photographer can rotate the worm wheel 83 through the protruding portion 83a.

Further, the worm wheel 83 is provided with a stopper to prevent the magnifying glass positioning worm 82 from rising upward from a predetermined position. In the case of the stopper, for example, a cut wire shot is fixed to the groove of the worm wheel 83 by an adhesive. As a result, since the worm 82 is smoothly engaged with the worm wheel 83 until the position where the stopper interferes, the focus point adjustment magnifier 65 is positioned at a predetermined distance from the liquid crystal electronic display 3 (for example, 75 mm). The location. Further, reference numeral 84 in Fig. 17 denotes a position at which the stopper is disposed, that is, a mark of the rotational limit position of the worm wheel 83.

As shown in Fig. 16, an adjustment knob 85 is provided at the upper end of the magnifying glass positioning worm 82. By rotating the adjustment knob 85, the magnifier positioning worm 82 smoothly moves up and down in the vertical direction because there is a state in which the stopper between the magnifying glass positioning worm 82 and the worm wheel 83 interferes.

Next, the order in which the focus point adjustment magnifier 65 is moved far and near with respect to the liquid crystal display 3 in the digital camera 7 of the present embodiment will be described.
