An electronic apparatus includes a control apparatus having a main body, a rotatable member rotatably supported by the main body, a magneto rheological fluid provided between the main body and the rotatable member, and a magnetic field generator configured to apply a magnetic field to the magneto rheological fluid, a plurality of rotatable operation members, and an operational feeling transmitter configured to transmit an operational feeling of the control apparatus to the plurality of rotatable operation members. When a switching member changes a transmission state of the operational feeling transmitter, a rotatable operation member to be used is selected from the plurality of rotatable operation members.

Electronic apparatus

A control apparatus includes a main body unit, a plurality of moving members each of which is movably supported by the main body unit, a magneto rheological fluid provided between the main body unit and each of the plurality of moving members or between each of the plurality of moving members, and one magnetic field generator configured to apply a magnetic field to the magneto rheological fluid.

Control apparatus, operation unit, and electronic apparatus

An image capturing apparatus includes an electronic viewfinder unit that can shift between a retracted state where the electronic viewfinder unit is retracted in a main body portion of the image capturing apparatus and an extended state where the electronic viewfinder unit is extended from the main body portion. The electronic viewfinder unit includes a holding cover that holds a pivoting unit where the pivoting unit can be rotated centering on a pivot shaft, and a pivot latch member that latches in a pivoting unit pivoting operation. The pivoting unit includes an electronic display unit, an eyepiece portion, an eyepiece window to cover the eyepiece portion, and a lens holder to hold a finder lens that guides light emitted from the electronic display unit to the eyepiece portion. When the pivoting unit is being rotated, the pivot latch member regulates shifting of the electronic viewfinder unit to the retracted state.

Image capturing apparatus

An image-capturing apparatus includes a main body and a finder unit configured to transition between a retracted state and a projected state. The finder unit includes a non-rotatable portion provided with a rotation shaft, a rotatable portion that is rotatable around the rotation shaft and has an eyepiece, and a restricting member that restricts a transition from a pulled-out state to the retracted state, the eyepiece has an engaging portion and the restricting member has an engaged portion having a convex shape, the engaging portion and the engaged portion being engaged with each other in a transition between the projected state and the retracted state, and an engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged portion is released when the rotatable portion is rotated in the pulled-out state.
