Abstract
An image pickup apparatus which is capable of efficiently cooling a recording medium while preventing size increase. A first board is substantially perpendicular to an optical axis direction. A second board is disposed parallel to the first board. A recording medium housing is mounted on the second board and is capable of housing the recording medium. A gripping portion is gripped when the image pickup apparatus is in use. A battery housing is arranged so as to overlap the gripping portion on projection when viewed from the optical axis direction and is capable of housing a battery. A first air-cooling duct is disposed between the battery housing and the second board. A fan generates an air current within the first air-cooling duct. The first air-cooling duct is thermally connected to at least one of the recording medium, the recording medium housing unit, and the second board.
