Abstract
An electronic video recording device has a video recording camera for converting optical information received through an object lens into electronic video information, a monitor screen for displaying electronic video information output from the video recording camera, and a main body having a monitor screen and a control panel for operating the video recording camera. The main body has the monitor screen on a rear face, control panel around a first side face, and a rotary shaft of the video recording camera on a second side face in which a rotary shaft is disposed in a direction approximately perpendicular to the second side face. An incident optical axis of the object lens on the video recording camera is approximately perpendicular to the rotary shaft of the rotary mechanism so that the object lens faces downward when in a housed configuration.
