Abstract:
[Problem] To provide a digital camera that enables, using a simple configuration, a digital display to be easily and freely rotated in the horizontal and vertical directions. [Solution] A digital camera (1) is provided with the following: a camera main body (2) having an image pickup lens; a liquid crystal display (3) that displays the images picked up by the image pickup lens; and a hinge unit (4) that connects the camera main body (2) and the electronic display (3). The camera main body (2) includes a first slit (22) that is formed by cutting out at least a portion of an inner circumferential wall (21a) of an accommodating depression (21) which accommodates the hinge unit (4), and that causes an outer circumferential surface (4a) of the hinge unit (4) to be exposed to the outside. The hinge unit (4) includes a second slit (43) that is formed by calling out at least a portion or an outer circumferential wall (42) which surrounds the outer circumference of the liquid crystal display (3), and that causes an outer circumferential surface (3b) of the liquid crystal display (3) to be exposed to the outside.
