A solid-state image sensor () is placed on the image plane of a photographing optical system. Between a base plate having an aperture for regulating the optical path of photographing light and a cover plate having an aperture, a blade chamber for housing a shutter blade is provided, and an actuator for driving the shutter blade is fixed to the outer surface of the blade chamber. The base plate and the cover plate are arranged in the body so that the aperture is located between the transparent plate and the photographing optical system.
