Abstract: In a camera, air orifices for linking the space inside a cell compartment with the outside of a casing are disposed in a position other than the grip portion which is held by a user, in the vicinity of the center of the front surface of the casing, that is, in the vicinity of a lens-barrel. A concave-convex portion serving as an air orifice guard is formed at the side opposite to that where the lens-barrel is disposed with respect to the air orifices. As a result, even when the user takes a picture of an object by holding the camera with his/her own hand, the air orifices are prevented from being closed by the user's hand. Oxygen (air) can be constantly supplied to the fuel cell accommodated inside the cell compartment, and the fuel cell can continuously generate a sufficient quantity of electricity.

Abstract: Described is an electronic device and an electronic device control method. If voltage generated by the fuel cell, acquired from the voltage detection part, is greater than a specified voltage reference value (VRV), a display part displays the fuel cell as normal. However, if the generated voltage is smaller than the VRV, the residual fuel amount (RFA) detection part detects the RFA. If the RFA is smaller than a specified fuel reference value (FRV), the display part displays that the fuel is insufficient. However, if the RFA is greater than the FRV, the oxidizing agent concentration (OAC) detection part detects the OAC of the fuel cell. If the OAC is smaller than a specified OAC reference value, the display part displays that the oxidizing agent is insufficient. However, if the OAC is greater than the OAC reference value, the display part displays that the fuel cell is abnormal.

Abstract: A lens barrier is opened/closed by a barrier drive cylinder disposed on an outer peripheral side of a lens. The barrier drive cylinder is rotated by a rotation of a cam cylinder together with a first cylinder so as to move forward and backward. In the course of a movement of the lens from a retracted position to a shooting position, the barrier drive cylinder rotates such that a drive ring biased to an opening direction by a spring is driven into an opening direction. The barrier is, thus, opened. When the lens is moved from the shooting position to the retracted position, the operation reverse to the aforementioned is performed to close the barrier. An annular seal member is provided into the space between the barrier drive cylinder and the first cylinder so as to prevent water from entering into the barrel.
