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.

The maximum value of a settable sensitivity is displayed at a maximum value-display position Pmax, and the minimum value thereof is displayed at a minimum value-display position Pmin.

Abstract: There is provided a camera of which operability is good regardless of the brightness of the surrounding environment. The brightness of the surrounding environment is detected by a brightness detection unit provided in a camera. The contents of settings of the camera are displayed on a sub-display 18 in a situation in which the surrounding environment is bright. The contents of settings of the camera and an image representing the set state of a shutter speed dial 33 are displayed on the sub-display 18 in a case in which the surrounding environment is dark.

Abstract: In an aspect of the present invention, assignment and a rotation direction of a pan motor and a tilt motor of each key of a cross key are set on the basis of the installation posture of the camera. Accordingly, it is possible to operate the cross key without discomfort when the camera is caused to perform a pan operation or a tilt operation using the cross key. Further, if the camera is caused to perform the pan operation using the cross key and a specific condition under which a video rotates is discriminated from a tilt angle, a display of a corresponding icon of the cross key is switched from a first icon indicating an up and down direction or a left and right direction to a second icon indicating a rotation direction. Accordingly, it is possible not to cause discomfort even when a video rotates.
