Abstract: A digital camera having a camera body, a shutter release button, a photographic optical system, a display cover, a lens/strobe flash cover, a nonskid grip pits/projection, a mode dial, operation buttons, indication lamps, a display screen, and a strobe flashing unit. When the camera is not in use, the display screen is covered by the display cover and a lens of the photographic optical system and the strobe flashing unit are covered by the lens/strobe flash cover to provide protection to such features. The lens/strobe flash cover is mechanically coupled to the display cover via a coupling mechanism such as a gear mechanism or a link mechanism or a chain/wire mechanism, or a combination of those mechanisms. An electric power switch to turn on and off an electric power supply to operate the digital camera is activated coupled to the movement of the display cover and the lens/strobe flash cover.

Abstract: A camera includes a base section, and a grip section which is provided in at least one lateral end of the camera, bending to a rear side of the camera. The grip section is disposed with a slip-proof section adjacent to a zoom key which is longitudinally arranged. Additionally, a slip-proof section to prevent finger slipping is positioned on a back surface of the grip section.

Abstract: It is provided in the present invention a camera comprising a base section (170), and a grip section (180) which is provided in at least one lateral end (140, 150) of the camera, bending toward to a back of the camera and is disposed with a slip-proof section (121) adjacent to a zoom key (123) which is longitudinally arranged.

The lens/strobe flash cover is mechanically coupled to the display cover via a coupling mechanism such as a gear mechanism or a link mechanism or a chain/wire mechanism, or a combination of those mechanisms. An electric power switch to turn on and off an electric power supply to operate the digital camera is activated coupled to the movement of the display cover and the lens/strobe flash cover.

Abstract: Digital camera and method are configured to operate in various photographic modes of operation that capture a sequence of images. The sequence of images is stored in memory, and selected of the stored images are retrieved from memory and automatically displayed after the sequence of images has been captured. The images are viewed on a on-camera display that is automatically turned on at the conclusion of the capturing of the sequence of images. A duration of the image display time is user-settable.

Abstract: An image formation apparatus includes a console that has a display consisting of a liquid crystal display, a start key, and ten keys. The console is integrated on the front side of a platen that is mounted on a main body of the image formation apparatus. The upper surface of the console is inclined.

Abstract: An electronic camera has at least one release button disposed in such a position of a camera body that the release button is easy to operate each of when the camera body is held in a horizontal position such that an image-pickup frame is horizontally long and when the camera body is held in a vertical position such that an image-pickup frame is vertically long. An image-pickup processing unit treats image data as that of an image of the vertical position or that of an image of the horizontal position based on a position of the release button operated.
