The image pickup apparatus includes a gripping portion, a medium slot that is provided in inside of the gripping portion, an intake port, an exhaust port, a cooling duct that connects the intake port and the exhaust port, and a first heat transfer member that transfers heat from the medium slot to the cooling duct. The cooling duct includes a cooling fan that flows air into inside of the cooling duct from the intake port toward the exhaust port, and an intake side duct that is connected to the intake port and is provided so as to at least partially overlap the medium slot in the gripping portion when viewed from an optical axis direction of the image pickup apparatus.
