Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes a light-emitting unit from which a lead wire and a flexible wiring board extend, a shaft member passing through the light-emitting unit, and a base member having formed therein two bearing portions pivotally supporting the shaft member. The light-emitting unit is caused to shift between an in-use state and a stored state according to the light-emitting unit being rotated around the shaft member. The flexible wiring board extending from the light-emitting unit extends into the imaging apparatus through a space between the two bearing portions in which the shaft member is located. The lead wire extending from the light-emitting unit extends into the imaging apparatus through an outside of one of the two bearing portions in which the shaft member is not located.
