Abstract
In order to prevent water that passes by the seal between an outer box and a back plate of a waterproof camera when the back plate is opened from damaging a camera mechanism, a cover that covers the gap between the outer box and the camera mechanism is formed so that the radially inner portion of the cover, which forms an aperture through which the rear portion of the camera mechanism can be accessed, protrudes toward the back plate farther than the radially outer portion of the cover.
