The rotary operation dial 20 has, on its annular surface, an indicator 22 indicating that the digital camera 100 is turned off, an indicator 24 indicating that the digital camera 100 is turned on (still image shooting mode), and a power on (moving image shooting) of the digital camera 100. And an index 26 indicating (mode). By rotating the rotary operation dial 20 so that these indices 22, 24, and 26 coincide with the indices 114 of the camera body 110, the digital camera 100 is turned off, powered on (still image shooting mode), powered on ( (Movie shooting mode) can be set (switched). Although not shown, the rotary operation dial device 10 has a click mechanism for giving a click feeling when the indexes 22, 24, and 26 of the rotary operation dial 20 are matched with the indexes 114 of the camera body 110. ing.
　ライトガイド３０は、透光性の樹脂材料からなる。ライトガイド３０は、筒状をなしており、回転操作ダイヤル２０の内周面に接着固定されている（回転操作ダイヤル２０と一体化されている）。このため、ライトガイド３０は、回転操作ダイヤル２０を回転操作したときに該回転操作ダイヤル２０と一体回転（一体変位）する。ライトガイド３０は、その下端部に、周方向に１８０°間隔で対向配置された一対の照明光入射部３２を有している。ライトガイド３０は、その上端部に、照明光入射部３２から入射した照明光を出射する環状の照明光出射部３４を有している。 The light guide 30 is made of a translucent resin material. The light guide 30 has a cylindrical shape and is bonded and fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the rotary operation dial 20 (integrated with the rotary operation dial 20). For this reason, the light guide 30 rotates integrally with the rotation operation dial 20 (integral displacement) when the rotation operation dial 20 is rotated. The light guide 30 has a pair of illumination light incident portions 32 disposed at the lower end thereof so as to face each other at intervals of 180 ° in the circumferential direction. The light guide 30 has an annular illumination light emitting part 34 that emits illumination light incident from the illumination light incident part 32 at the upper end thereof.
　回転操作ダイヤル２０とライトガイド３０の結合体は、３つのビス挿通孔５１に挿通した３つのブラシ台座ビス５２により、カメラボディ１１０の内面側からブラシ台座５０に固定されている。このため、回転操作ダイヤル２０とライトガイド３０の結合体、及び、ブラシ台座５０は、取付孔１１２を介してカメラボディ１１０を内面側と外面側から挟み込んだ状態で一体に回転摺動する。ブラシ台座５０は、ライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２を露出させる一対の露出孔５３を有している。別言すると、ライトガイド３０の下端部は、一対の露出孔５３から露出した一対の照明光入射部３２を除いた殆どの部分がブラシ台座５０によって覆われている。この構成により、回転操作ダイヤル２０とライトガイド３０の結合体をブラシ台座５０に固定するための構造部の小型化、簡単化、低コスト化、部品点数の減少を図ることができる。 The combined body of the rotary operation dial 20 and the light guide 30 is fixed to the brush base 50 from the inner surface side of the camera body 110 by the three brush base screws 52 inserted through the three screw insertion holes 51. For this reason, the combined body of the rotary operation dial 20 and the light guide 30 and the brush pedestal 50 rotate and slide together in a state where the camera body 110 is sandwiched from the inner surface side and the outer surface side through the mounting hole 112. The brush base 50 has a pair of exposure holes 53 that expose the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 of the light guide 30. In other words, most of the lower end portion of the light guide 30 is covered with the brush pedestal 50 except for the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 exposed from the pair of exposure holes 53. With this configuration, the structure for fixing the combined body of the rotary operation dial 20 and the light guide 30 to the brush base 50 can be reduced in size, simplified, reduced in cost, and the number of parts can be reduced.
　ブラシ台座５０にはブラシ５４が固定されている。このブラシ５４は、回転操作ダイヤル２０の回転に同期して、カメラボディ１１０の内部に固定された回路パターン５６と接触摺動する。デジタルカメラ１００は、ブラシ５４と回路パターン５６の接触位置により、回転操作ダイヤル２０の回転操作位置を検出することができる。 A brush 54 is fixed to the brush base 50. This brush 54 slides in contact with the circuit pattern 56 fixed inside the camera body 110 in synchronization with the rotation of the rotary operation dial 20. The digital camera 100 can detect the rotation operation position of the rotation operation dial 20 based on the contact position between the brush 54 and the circuit pattern 56.
　シャッタレリーズボタン４０は、非透光性の樹脂材料からなる。シャッタレリーズボタン４０は、平面視で円形かつ断面視でＴ字形をなし、回転操作ダイヤル２０とライトガイド３０の結合体に取り囲まれている。回転操作ダイヤル２０とシャッタレリーズボタン４０は、互いに嵌合するキー溝とキーを有しており、このキー溝とキーの嵌合関係によって、回転操作ダイヤル２０とライトガイド３０とシャッタレリーズボタン４０が一緒に回転するようになっている。これにより、シンプルな構成で心地良い（しっかりした）操作感を得ることができる。仮に、シャッタレリーズボタン４０が回転操作ダイヤル２０とライトガイド３０の結合体に対して自由に回転できる構造（連れ回らない構造）であると、これらの支持構造が複雑になるとともに、ぐらぐらして操作感が悪くなってしまう。シャッタレリーズボタン４０は、抜け止めワッシャ４２により抜け止められ、付勢ばね４４により上方に付勢されている。付勢ばね４４の付勢力に抗して、シャッタレリーズボタン４０を半押し操作することによりオートフォーカスや自動露出調整等の処理が行われ、シャッタレリーズボタン４０を全押し操作することにより撮影処理が行われる。シャッタレリーズボタン４０の半押し操作、全押し操作はシャッタレリーズボタン４０の断面視Ｔ字形の足が、二段スイッチを有するレリーズスイッチ（押圧感知部材）８０を押圧することによって感知される。 The shutter release button 40 is made of a non-translucent resin material. The shutter release button 40 is circular in a plan view and T-shaped in a cross-sectional view, and is surrounded by a combined body of the rotary operation dial 20 and the light guide 30. The rotary operation dial 20 and the shutter release button 40 have a keyway and a key that are fitted to each other, and the rotary operation dial 20, the light guide 30, and the shutter release button 40 are arranged by the fitting relationship between the keyway and the key. It is designed to rotate together. Thereby, it is possible to obtain a comfortable (solid) operation feeling with a simple configuration. If the shutter release button 40 has a structure that allows the shutter release button 40 to freely rotate with respect to the combined body of the rotary operation dial 20 and the light guide 30 (a structure that does not rotate), the support structure becomes complicated and the shutter release button 40 operates loosely. The feeling gets worse. The shutter release button 40 is retained by a retaining washer 42 and is urged upward by a biasing spring 44. Processing such as autofocus and automatic exposure adjustment is performed by half-pressing the shutter release button 40 against the biasing force of the biasing spring 44, and shooting processing is performed by fully pressing the shutter release button 40. Done. The half-pressing operation and the full-pressing operation of the shutter release button 40 are detected when the T-shaped foot of the shutter release button 40 presses a release switch (pressing detection member) 80 having a two-stage switch.
　カメラボディ１１０の内部には、レリーズスイッチ（押圧感知部材）８０の周囲の同一面上に、周方向に１８０°間隔で対向配置された一対の緑色ＬＥＤ（照明光供給部、発光源、第一色発光源）６０と、周方向に１８０°間隔で対向配置された一対の赤色ＬＥＤ（照明光供給部、発光源、第二色発光源）７０とが固定されている。一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０は、周方向の位相をずらして配置されている。図２から分かるように、内側から、レリーズスイッチ８０、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０、回路パターン５６の順に、同一面（同一基板）上に配置されている。 Inside the camera body 110, a pair of green LEDs (illumination light supply unit, light emission source, first electrode) are disposed on the same surface around the release switch (pressing sensing member) 80 and opposed to each other at an interval of 180 ° in the circumferential direction. A color light emission source) 60 and a pair of red LEDs (illumination light supply unit, light emission source, second color light emission source) 70 facing each other at an interval of 180 ° in the circumferential direction are fixed. The pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 are arranged with their circumferential phases shifted. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the release switch 80, the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70, and the circuit pattern 56 are arranged on the same surface (same substrate) from the inside.
　図３に示すように、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０は、回転操作ダイヤル２０が、回転操作ダイヤル２０の指標２２がカメラボディ１１０の指標１１４と一致したデジタルカメラ１００の電源オフに対応する回転操作位置にあるときに、ライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２と平面的に重ならず、ブラシ台座５０によって遮られる。このため、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０の照明光がライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２に入射することはない。 As shown in FIG. 3, the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 correspond to turning off the digital camera 100 when the rotation operation dial 20 matches the index 114 of the camera body 110 with the index 22 of the rotation operation dial 20. When in the rotation operation position, the light guide 30 does not overlap with the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 in a plane but is blocked by the brush base 50. For this reason, the illumination light of the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 does not enter the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 of the light guide 30.
　図２、図４に示すように、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０は、回転操作ダイヤル２０が、回転操作ダイヤル２０の指標２４がカメラボディ１１０の指標１１４と一致したデジタルカメラ１００の電源オン（静止画撮影モード）に対応する回転操作位置（所定の回転操作位置）にあるときに、ライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２の直下に位置する。そして一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０が発した緑色の照明光は、ライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２から入射して環状の照明光出射部３４から出射する。すなわち、ライトガイド３０の照明光出射部３４は、非透光性の樹脂材料からなる回転操作ダイヤル２０とシャッタレリーズボタン４０の間の環状空間を埋めながら緑色に発光して照明する。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the pair of green LEDs 60 indicates that the rotation operation dial 20 is turned on (the still image shooting mode) of the digital camera 100 in which the index 24 of the rotation operation dial 20 matches the index 114 of the camera body 110. ) Is located immediately below the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 of the light guide 30. The green illumination light emitted from the pair of green LEDs 60 is incident from the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 of the light guide 30 and is emitted from the annular illumination light emitting portion 34. That is, the illumination light emitting part 34 of the light guide 30 emits light in green and illuminates while filling the annular space between the rotary operation dial 20 made of a non-translucent resin material and the shutter release button 40.
　図２、図５に示すように、一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０は、回転操作ダイヤル２０が、回転操作ダイヤル２０の指標２６がカメラボディ１１０の指標１１４と一致したデジタルカメラ１００の電源オン（動画撮影モード）に対応する回転操作位置（所定の回転操作位置）にあるときに、ライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２の直下に位置する。そして一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０が発した赤色の照明光は、ライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２から入射して環状の照明光出射部３４から出射する。すなわち、ライトガイド３０の照明光出射部３４は、非透光性の樹脂材料からなる回転操作ダイヤル２０とシャッタレリーズボタン４０の間の環状空間を埋めながら赤色に発光して照明する。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the pair of red LEDs 70 are such that the rotation operation dial 20 is turned on and the digital camera 100 with the index 26 of the rotation operation dial 20 matched with the index 114 of the camera body 110 (movie shooting mode). Is located immediately below the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 of the light guide 30. Then, the red illumination light emitted from the pair of red LEDs 70 enters from the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 of the light guide 30 and exits from the annular illumination light exit portion 34. That is, the illumination light emitting portion 34 of the light guide 30 emits red light and illuminates while filling the annular space between the rotary operation dial 20 made of a non-translucent resin material and the shutter release button 40.
　図１に示すように、デジタルカメラ１００は、カメラボディ１１０の内部のＣＰＵの一機能として、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０の発光を制御する発光制御部１２０を有している。発光制御部１２０は、回転操作ダイヤル２０が所定の回転操作位置にあるときにだけ、すなわち、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０または一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０の直上にライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２が位置しているときにだけ、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０のいずれか一方（つまり照明光入射部３２の直下に位置している方）を選択的に発光させる（図２、図４、図５）。一方、発光制御部１２０は、回転操作ダイヤル２０が所定の回転操作位置にないときには、すなわち、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０がライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２と平面的に重ならずブラシ台座５０によって遮られているときには、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０を発光させない（図３）。 As shown in FIG. 1, the digital camera 100 includes a light emission control unit 120 that controls the light emission of the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 as a function of the CPU inside the camera body 110. The light emission control unit 120 is configured such that the pair of illumination light incident units 32 of the light guide 30 is positioned only when the rotation operation dial 20 is at a predetermined rotation operation position, that is, directly above the pair of green LEDs 60 or the pair of red LEDs 70. Only when one of the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 (that is, the one located directly below the illumination light incident portion 32) is selectively caused to emit light (FIGS. 2, 4, and 5). ). On the other hand, when the rotary operation dial 20 is not in a predetermined rotational operation position, the light emission control unit 120 is planarly overlapped with the pair of illumination light incident units 32 of the light guide 30 when the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 are located. When not blocked by the brush base 50, the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 are not caused to emit light (FIG. 3).
　このように、本実施形態の回転操作ダイヤル装置１０では、回転操作ダイヤル２０が所定の回転操作位置にあるときにだけ、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０のいずれかの照明光が、ライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２に供給される。これにより、照明機能を実現するための構造部の小型化、簡単化、低コスト化、部品点数の減少を図ることができる。また、静止画撮影モード、動画撮影モードのいずれかを選択する回転操作ダイヤル２０と、選択された機能を発揮する為のシャッタレリーズボタン４０と、ライトガイド３０の照明光出射部３４とが近接して配置されているので、周囲が暗い撮影環境下においても、選択中の機能（静止画撮影モードか動画撮影モードか）と、その機能を切り替える部材の位置、その機能を発揮させる（静止画を撮影するか動画を撮影するかの、いずれかの機能を発揮する）為の部材の位置が容易に認識できるので、使いやすい操作装置を得ることができる。 Thus, in the rotary operation dial device 10 of this embodiment, only when the rotary operation dial 20 is at a predetermined rotational operation position, the illumination light of either the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 is a light guide. 30 pairs of illumination light incident portions 32 are supplied. As a result, the structure for realizing the illumination function can be reduced in size, simplified, reduced in cost, and the number of parts can be reduced. Further, the rotary operation dial 20 for selecting either the still image shooting mode or the moving image shooting mode, the shutter release button 40 for performing the selected function, and the illumination light emitting unit 34 of the light guide 30 are close to each other. Even in a dark shooting environment, the selected function (still image shooting mode or movie shooting mode), the position of the member that switches the function, and the function are displayed (still image is displayed). An easy-to-use operating device can be obtained since the position of the member for performing either of the functions of shooting or moving images can be easily recognized.
　また、一対の緑色ＬＥＤ６０と一対の赤色ＬＥＤ７０は、回転操作ダイヤル２０の回転操作位置に応じて、ライトガイド３０の一対の照明光入射部３２に異なる色の照明光を供給してこれを発光させる。これにより、夜間等の暗い状況下で極めて優れた美観と視認性を発揮することができる。 Further, the pair of green LEDs 60 and the pair of red LEDs 70 supply illumination light of different colors to the pair of illumination light incident portions 32 of the light guide 30 according to the rotation operation position of the rotation operation dial 20 to emit light. . As a result, it is possible to exhibit extremely good aesthetics and visibility under dark conditions such as at night.

However, the “illumination light supply unit, light emission source” may be a light source other than an LED, illumination light of a color other than green and red, or illumination light of three or more colors. .
