Abstract
In a folding portable terminal equipped with the imaging camera, in order to prevent deformation-induced damage to an imaging camera when the folding portable terminal is dropped and gets a strong shock, each face of a camera module housed in an imaging camera casing is retained in place in the camera casing by cushioning members made of a material having excellent shock absorbency, thereby preventing deformation-induced damage to the camera module.
