That is, as a first prior art example, an electro-viewfinder section including a liquid crystal display element
(Hereinafter referred to as EVF section), the EVF section is integrated with the deck section, and some of them are attached to the camera unit section so as to be rotatable in the lateral direction.

As a second prior art example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-836
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 02 discloses that a rotatable mounting table is provided, an EVF section is mounted on the mounting table, and the rotating mounting table is configured to interlock with a grip.

As a third prior art example, an EVF portion is arranged on the side opposite to the grip of the main body, and when the EVF portion is housed, the entire EVF portion has a flat shape and the liquid crystal screen is protected. It is known that the liquid crystal display screen of the EVF section is brought into a usable state.

Further, as a fourth prior art example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
