  • Publication number: 20250085610
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus capable of locking a finder at a position where the finder is rotated. The electronic apparatus includes an apparatus body, a finder, and a support mechanism provided in an apparatus body, supporting the finder so as to be movable between a housed stat in which the finder is housed in the apparatus body, a pulled-out state in which the finder is pulled out from the apparatus body, a rotatable state in which the finder is rotatable from the pulled-out state, and a tilt-lock state in which the finder is locked at the rotated position from the pulled-out state. A rotation shaft serving as a rotation center of the finder is located outside the apparatus body in any of the pulled-out state, the rotated state, and the tilt-lock state, and moves into the apparatus body as the finder transitions to the housed state.
