Abstract: An image sensing apparatus has an image sensing unit and a display unit. The image sensing unit has an optical system for photographing an object and an image sensing element. The display unit has a liquid crystal display device for performing an image display on the basis of a video output from the image sensing unit. A film fixing unit holds the image sensing unit and the display unit at a predetermined distance and also forms a mounting unit for mounting the object on the display surface of the display unit. A film holder for holding a film as an object is mounted on the mounting unit, and a film photographing operation is performed by the image sensing unit while using the display unit as an illumination device.

Abstract: An adapter device for connecting a peripheral equipment such as an electronic camera to an electric apparatus, such as a TV monitor includes a body formed approximately in a rectangular parallepiped shape having respective first and second longitudinally displaced side surfaces extending transversely of the body, a first connector disposed on an upper surface of the body and arranged for connection with the peripheral equipment, a second connector disposed at the first side surface of the body and arranged for connection with the electric apparatus and an operation member disposed at the second side surface of the body and movable transversely of the body for connecting and detaching the peripheral equipment to and from the first connector. The adapter device includes a cam system with multiple cam parts arranged to facilitate connecting and detaching the peripheral equipment to and from the first connector.

Abstract: To provide an image pick-up device which provides high operability and high portability even when a large screen size monitor is mounted thereon, an electronic camera comprises an image pick-up device unit, a display device unit, a recording medium and a power supply. Holes for engaging with a locking pawl of the display device unit are formed in a cover of the image pick-up device unit. An LCD display device is arranged in front of a cover of the display device unit, the LCD display device functions as a view finder, a monitor and a display, and a touch panel is arranged in front of the LCD display device with a relative position being kept therebetween. When the display device unit is mounted on the image pick-up unit, manipulation keys corresponding to manipulation buttons of the image pick-up unit are displayed. The image pick-up device unit controls the switching of the image pick-up device unit based on an output signal from the touch panel.
