Abstract

An image pickup apparatus equipped with an electronic viewfinder, which has a radio antenna arranged therein in a space saving manner while preventing a casing from becoming hot and suppressing electric noise. An electronic viewfinder (EVF) has a display section that displays an image of an object, captured by an image sensor. A wireless communication module has an antenna capable of performing wireless communication and is arranged in a manner overlapping the electronic viewfinder. A metal member is disposed between the wireless communication module and the EVF, and has the wireless communication module fixed thereto. The wireless communication module is thermally connected to a main body structure. The electronic viewfinder is thermally connected to a top cover different from the main body structure.
