A rotatable operation apparatus includes a rotatable operation member, a magnet having alternately magnetized magnetic poles, first and second magnetic members respectively including first and second teeth, a body frame, and a detector. A magnetized direction of each magnetic pole is parallel to a predetermined axis about which the rotatable operation member rotates. The magnet has a ring shape and is configured to rotate about the predetermined axis as the rotatable operation member rotates. The rotatable operation apparatus generates an operation force according to a change in positions of the magnetic poles, caused by the rotation of the magnet, relative to positions of the first tooth and the second tooth. The magnet, the first magnetic member, and the second magnetic member are housed inside the body frame. When viewed from a thrust direction of the magnet, the detector is disposed at a position that does not overlap with the magnet.

Rotatable operation apparatus and electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes a rotatable operation member that can be rotationally operated, a base member, a magnet having alternately magnetized N and S poles and rotatable integrally with the rotatable operation member, and first and second magnetic members disposed so that the magnet is disposed between them in an axial direction of a rotational center axis of the rotatable operation member and having a plurality of comb tooth portions. In the axial direction, the first magnetic member, the magnet, and the second magnetic member are disposed on an opposite side of the base member from the rotatable operation member. A part of an outer circumferential portion of the rotatable operation member is exposed to an outside from an opening provided on an exterior member of the electronic apparatus. The magnet, the first magnetic member, and the second magnetic member are covered with the exterior member.

Electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus includes a supporting member, a movable member supported by the supporting member movably with respect to the supporting member, a controller configured to control a movement of the movable member, a first flexible printed circuit board configured to electrically connect the movable member and the controller, and a first radio wave absorber having a sheet shape that overlays the first flexible printed circuit board and that is partially fixed to the first flexible printed circuit board.

Electronic apparatus capable of reducing electromagnetic field noise

An imaging apparatus includes an imaging element that captures an image for detecting a phase difference in a predetermined direction on an image surface in order to detect a focal state of an image formed by an image formation lens, an imaging element driving unit configured to be able to drive the imaging element in a parallel movement direction and a rotation direction within a plane perpendicular to an optical axis of the image formation lens, and a focus detection unit configured to detect a focus by rotating the imaging element using the imaging element driving unit in accordance with a result of an image captured by the imaging element.

Electronic equipment includes a first operating member having a detecting unit to detect touch and slide operations. Where a detecting unit touch detecting face is touched in the touch operation over a first and a second predetermined area, larger than the first predetermined area, or less, a first function is executed. Where the touch detecting face of the detecting unit is touched in the touch operation over more than the second predetermined area, a second function is executed. The touch detecting face is divided into a first, a second, and a third touch detecting face, in that order in a direction of the slide operation. A relation of 1.4&#x2264;W1/W2&#x2264;6.0 is satisfied. W1 represents a length of the touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation, and W2 represents a length of the second touch detecting face in the direction of the slide operation.
