Abstract
A dry battery having a relatively heavy weight and a main capacitor are held by a holder provided in a grip portion of a camera. Weight of the camera is biased toward the grip portion. When the photographer holds the grip portion, the whole of the camera is stably kept so that camera movement is almost prevented. Thus, when the photograph is taken in a state that the camera is held by a hand, camera movement blur is reduced. A location of the holder is more outer than a film cartridge chamber so that a size from the grip portion to a taking lens becomes larger. A finger holding the camera is prevented from being put on the taking lens. Thus, photographing is prevented from failing, although the whole size of the camera is small.
