An imaging device includes: a heat source; a heat dissipation mechanism for dissipating heat of the heat source; and a main body to which the heat source and the heat dissipation mechanism are attached, wherein the heat dissipation mechanism is disposed on an outer peripheral portion of the main body.

Imaging device with heat dissipation mechanism

An imaging device main-body of an imaging device of the present disclosure includes a first engaged portion, a second engaged portion and a locked portion, and an accessory holding unit includes a first engaging portion, a second engaging portion and a locking portion. When the accessory holding unit is to be mounted to the imaging device main-body, the first engaging portion and the first engaged portion are engaged with each other, the second engaged portion and the second engaging portion are engaged with each other, and the locking portion is locked to the locked portion.

Imaging device, and mounting/removing mechanism for imaging device

An imaging device of the present disclosure is configured that when the accessory holding unit is mounted to the imaging device main-body, the first mounting/removing movable portion and the second mounting/removing movable portion are moved to the mounted positions, the first engaging portion and the first engaged portion are engaged with each other, the second engaged portion and the second engaging portion are engaged with each other, the locking portion and the locked portion are locked to each other, and the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal are electrically connected to each other, and when an accessory component is mounted only to the first engaged portion, the first mounting/removing movable portion is moved to the mounted position, and the second mounting/removing movable portion is held at the non-mounted position to protect the second engaged portion, the locked portion, and the first connection terminal.

Imaging device

The imaging apparatus of the present invention includes a main body, first camera fixedly arranged on the main body, an opening-closing unit provided rotatably with respect to the main body via a first hinge unit, a second camera mounted on the opposite side of the opening-closing unit from the first hinge unit, and a second hinge unit for rotatably supporting the imaging direction of the second camera. A body surface of the second camera is uneven, and the rotation direction of the first hinge unit and the rotation direction of the second hinge unit are the same rotation direction at the time of starting shooting with the second camera.

Imaging unit and imaging apparatus

The imaging unit of the present disclosure is an imaging unit rotatable about a first axis. The imaging unit includes a lens holder and an operating member. The lens holder holds a lens on its surface, has a first gear on its rear face, and is rotatable about a second axis in forward and backward directions. The operating member has a second gear engaged with the first gear, is rotatable about a third axis in forward and backward directions, and faces the rear face of the lens holder. A plane with the first axis as a normal, a plane with the second axis as a normal, and a plane with the third axis as a normal are orthogonal to each other. The lens holder rotates by rotating the operating member.
