Abstract
A camera includes an exterior member which forms an exterior of the camera, a camera body which forms a cartridge chamber portion having a cartridge chamber for loading a film cartridge therein, the cartridge chamber portion being disposed adjacent to the exterior member with a predetermined clearance therebetween and having a recessed part formed in one side thereof facing the exterior member, and a flexible printed circuit board on which at least one electric part is mounted, the flexible printed circuit board being disposed between the exterior member and the cartridge chamber portion in such a manner that the electric part is accommodated in the recessed part. With such a construction of the camera, the flexible printed circuit board on which the electric part is mounted can be disposed between the camera body and the exterior member without increasing a clearance (gap) between the camera body and the exterior member, so that the thickness of the camera as a whole can be prevented from being increased.
