  • Publication number: 20150256728
    Abstract: There is provided an imaging apparatus including a first housing mounted with an imaging lens, a second housing mounted with a display, and a connecting portion that connects the first housing and the second housing. The connecting portion includes a first rotation mechanism that makes the second housing openable/closable with respect to the first housing by rotating the second housing around the opening/closing axis, and a second rotation mechanism that, in a case where the second housing is closed by the first rotation mechanism, when a surface of the first housing directly facing the second housing and parallel to the opening/closing axis is denoted as a first accommodation surface, makes the second housing rotatable around a vertical axis perpendicular to the first accommodation surface.
