  • Publication number: 20220116527
    Abstract: An imaging device capable of detecting an attitude of a display unit with respect to a body unit is miniaturized. Therefore, an imaging device includes: a display support unit configured to support a display unit that displays an image captured by a body unit; a first arm unit of which one end is connected to the display support unit; a first magnet provided in one of the display support unit and the first arm unit; and a first magnetic sensor provided in the other of the display support unit and the first arm unit. A pivoting state of the display support unit and the first arm unit is variable using a first pivoting axis as a support point axis. The first magnetic sensor receives a magnetic field released from the first magnet and outputs a signal in accordance with the pivoting state of the display support unit and the first arm unit.
