Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an external connector to which an external microphone may be connected, an operation member located on a surface of the imaging apparatus opposite a surface on which the external connector is located, a dial member located on a surface of the imaging apparatus different from the surface on which the external connector is located and the surface on which the operation member is located, in a state in which a side surface of the dial member is exposed, and a cover member capable of switching between an open state in which the operation member and the side surface of the dial member are exposed and a closed state in which the cover member covers the operation member and the side surface of the dial member. In the imaging apparatus, an operation on the dial member may be prevented by bringing the cover member into the closed state.
