Abstract:
In a video camera, air outlet holes and air inlet holes are disposed in a panel-facing surface of a camera body. A duct is disposed inside the camera body and guides the air taken in through the air inlet holes to the air outlet holes. A first heat sink is so arranged as to extend from an image sensor into the duct, and the first heat sink releases the heat generated by the image sensor into the duct. A liquid crystal panel unit is movably disposed between a first position in which a first face of the liquid crystal panel unit including a display screen of a liquid crystal panel faces the panel-facing surface of the camera body and a second position in which a second face faces the panel-facing surface. When the liquid crystal panel unit is in the first position, the first face is so formed as to cover the air outlet holes and the air inlet holes. The second surface of the liquid crystal panel unit is formed so that the air outlet holes and the air inlet holes are open to the exterior when the liquid crystal panel unit is in the second position.
