ていなかった。In conventional electronic cameras, the imaging section is not rotatable relative to the camera body, and the strobe light emitting section is also attached to the camera body. An electronic camera in which the imaging unit is rotatably attached to the camera body is disclosed in the applicant's earlier application (Japanese Patent Application No. 1-2'
17Fg No. 1), but strobes were not taken into account.

する問題点があった。For electronic cameras with a rotatable imaging unit, if the strobe light emitting unit is installed in the camera body independently of the imaging unit, the shooting direction and strobe irradiation direction will not match the direction of the subject, resulting in insufficient light to the subject. There were problems such as vignetting and vignetting.

収納することができる。In order to achieve the above object, the electronic camera VC of the present invention. This includes: an imaging section incorporating a photographic lens and an imaging device; a strobe light emitting section; a support frame movable integrally with the imaging section and the strobe light emitting section; and a support frame for recording electrical signals from the imaging device. The camera body includes a recording device, and an electric transmission means connects the image pickup device and the strobe light emitting unit to the camera body, and the support frame is rotatably engaged with the camera body. We offer a Nemiko camera made up of a combination of By providing a recess in the necked camera body to house a flexible support frame integrally with the imaging section and the strobe light emitting section, the camera can be folded and stored compactly when not photographing.

めるファインダーの役目をする。FIG. 1 shows a camera body 1 that has a built-in recording medium such as an IC card, and a support frame 5 in which an imaging section 2, a strobe light emitting section 3, and a photometric/colorimetric sensor 4 are integrally provided. It is provided. When it is time to take a picture, it is housed in the support frame 5 or the recess 6, making it compact and protecting the lens and strobe part. Figure 2 shows camera body 1
The image pickup section 2 with the image pickup device 8 provided behind the photographic lens 7, the strobe light emitting section 3, and the photometric colorimetric sensor 4 are integrated into the support frame 5. 5
They are rotatably coupled by provided engaging portions 9a and 9b. The electric wires 10a and 10b for transmitting electric signals between the image sensor 8, the photometric colorimetric sensor 4, and the camera body 1 and the electric wire 11C for supplying power to the strobe light emitting section 3 are connected to the engaging portion 9a.
, 9b and are wired inside the camera body, respectively. Here, the imaging section and the strobe light emitting section are electromagnetically shielded by an electromagnetic shielding plate 11. The imaging section and strobe light emitting section should be placed as far apart as possible to prevent red-eye. In this embodiment, the imaging section 2, the strobe light emitting section 3, and the photometric colorimeter sensor 4 are mounted integrally on the support frame 5, but they are mounted independently and rotated in conjunction with each other. Also good. In FIG. 3, a liquid crystal display panel 12 is provided on the back side of the camera body l, and serves as a finder for determining the subject situation and photographing range.

トロボが保護されて取扱いに大変便利である。The electronic camera configured according to the present invention can arbitrarily select the shooting direction with respect to the camera body at the time of shooting, and can also set the shooting direction and the strobe irradiation direction to be the same direction. When not photographing, it becomes a closed rx shape, which protects the lens and strobe, making it very convenient to handle.
