Abstract: There is provided a digital camera of which the stable operation of a shutter can be performed by compact structure and which can suppress the generation of vibration caused by the operation of a shutter. A grip portion (22) is provided at one end portion of a camera body (10), and a charge section (124) of a focal-plane shutter unit (110) is disposed within a range GA of the grip portion (22). Further, a battery is disposed between an image sensor and a display unit at an end portion of the camera body opposite to the grip portion (22). Since the charge section is disposed within the range of the grip portion, a drive section (122) and the charge section (124) can be disposed close to each other. Accordingly, a drive unit for a focal-plane shutter can be made compact, and a shutter curtain can be charged with a stable operation even in a case in which the shutter curtain is to be charged with large torque.

Abstract: There is provided a digital camera that can suppress the generation of vibration caused by the operation of a shutter. One end portion of a camera body (10) forms a grip region (10A), and a drive unit (120) of a focal-plane shutter unit (110) is disposed within the range of the grip region (10A). Further, a battery (92) is disposed between an image sensor (70) and a display unit (100) at an end portion of the camera body opposite to a grip region (10A). Since the drive unit (120) of the focal-plane shutter unit (110) is disposed within the range of the grip region (10A), a portion of the camera body, which is close to the center of rotation of a shutter curtain, can be gripped with a hand at the time of handheld imaging. Accordingly, the generation of vibration can be effectively suppressed. Further, since the battery (92) is disposed at the end portion of the camera body opposite to the grip region (10A), the moment of inertia about the grip region (10A) can be increased.
