An object of the present disclosure is to improve operability of an imaging apparatus. The present disclosure is an imaging apparatus including: first operation partfor receiving selection of a first numerical value from a first numerical value group that specifies a photography setting condition; second operation partfor receiving selection of an operation from an operation group for the first numerical value; and a controller for determining a set value set by combining the first numerical value selected via first operation partand the operation selected via the second operation part

Imaging apparatus including two operation parts for determining a set value

A position detection device includes a first member, a second member, a plurality of detected components, a detector group, and a controller. The second member is opposed the first member and is configured to move relative to the first member in a specific direction. The plurality of detected components are disposed on the first member and faces the second member. The detector group is disposed on the second member and includes a plurality of detectors configured to detect the plurality of detected components. The controller is configured to detect a relative position of the second member relative to the first member based on a detection pattern in which detection results of the plurality of detectors are arranged in a row.

Position detection device

An electronic apparatus includes a flexible printed circuit having a first surface on which a switch is mounted, a reinforcement plate having a first surface arranged to face a second surface of the flexible printed circuit opposite to the first surface of the flexible printed circuit on which the switch is mounted, and a spacer arranged to face a second surface of the reinforcement plate opposite to the first surface of the reinforcement plate that faces the second surface of the flexible printed circuit.

Electronic apparatus

An imaging device is provided, in which a front sheet metal casing and/or a back sheet metal casing can be secured to a top sheet metal casing without the necessity of providing any screw holes in the top surface of the top sheet metal casing in order to secure the top sheet metal casing to the front sheet metal casing and/or the back sheet metal casing. The top sheet metal casing includes a top plate and a secured sheet metal casing secured to the top plate such that at least a portion of its perimeter is spaced apart from the top plate at a predetermined distance. A flange provided to the front or back sheet metal casing is inserted between the top plate and the secured sheet metal plate, so that an engagement pin provided to the secured sheet metal plate is fitted in an engagement hole provided in the flange, thereby securing the front or back sheet metal casing to the top sheet metal casing.

In a camera devicewith a shutter buttonfor transmitting an externally-applied pressing force to a switch, a bosshas a first end attached to the shutter button, and a second end opposed to the switch, a coil springhas a first winding portionand a second winding portion, which are respectively wound into first and second shapes about a common central axis As, the second shape includes the first winding portion, and the second end of the bossis inserted into the first winding portion

Coil spring structure of shutter button camera device and button structure of electronic device

Electronic equipment according to the present invention includes a cursor keydisposed to be exposed partially from a casing, wherein the cursor keyincludes: an operating portionincluding a plurality of pressing portions that are disposed to be exposed on the surface of the casing and that receive a pressing operation by a user; and a pair of framesandthat are supported by the casing at portionsandand connected to the operating portionat the other portion respectively, wherein the other portions are provided between the respective adjacent pressing portions. With this configuration, it is possible to realize electronic equipment including a switch that requires a less number of components and can be assembled easily.

Electronic equipment

Electronic equipment of the present invention having a display panel includes a protection plate that is opposed to an opposite surface of a display surface of the display panel and is substantially parallel to the opposite surface of the display surface of the display panel. According to this configuration, when a pressure is applied to the display panel from outside, the display panel can be suppressed from being deformed, whereby the strength of the display panel with respective to an external pressure can be enhanced.

Electronic equipment with display panel and protective plate

Electronic equipment according to the present invention includes a display element. The electronic equipment includes a holding frameholding a display unitand including an elastic piece that can be elastically deformed in a substantially planar direction of the display surface of the display unit, a rear unitholding a holding frameand including an opening that allows the display unitto be visible from outside, and a front unitfixed to the rear unitand covering the rear surface side of the display unit. The holding frameis held with the rear unitby elastically deforming the elastic piece. With this configuration, it is possible to attach and detach a display element such as a liquid crystal panel to and from the case easily, thus simplifying the assembling process.
