Patent number: 8111317Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes a camera body having an image-capturing lens for receiving light to form an image of a subject and a display unit having a display screen for displaying the image. The display unit is slidably supported by the camera body. A surface of the display unit opposite a surface having the display screen disposed thereon faces a surface of the camera body opposite a surface having the image-capturing lens disposed thereon. An image capture button is disposed on the surface of the camera body opposite the surface having the image-capturing lens disposed thereon. The image capture button is exposed when the display unit is slid over the camera body in a first direction and the image capture button is covered by the display unit when the display unit is slid over the camera body in a second direction opposite the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2011Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Yohei Fukuma, Kenichi Agata, Ryo Yamamoto, Toru Karashima, Naohiko Otake, Nozomi Ozaki, Hisaya Miyashita, Daisuke Ishii
