Image pickup apparatus having wireless transmitter-receiver unit

An image pickup apparatus comprising:

• an image pickup device configured to photoelectrically convert an object image into image signals;
• a lens unit configured to form the object image on the image pickup device;
• an image processing unit configured to perform image processing on the image signals output from the image pickup device;
• a converting unit configured to convert electric power supplied from a battery and supply converted electric power to the image pickup device and the image processing unit;
• a first board on which the image processing unit and the converting unit are mounted;
• and
• a wireless transmitting unit configured to wirelessly transmit data,
• wherein the image pickup device is mounted on the lens unit via a second board,
• wherein the first board is disposed in such a manner that the converting unit mounted on the first board does not overlap the image pickup device and the lens unit,
• wherein the wireless transmitting unit is disposed in such a manner that the wireless transmitting unit overlaps the converting unit,
• wherein the wireless transmitting unit is disposed in such a manner that a distance between the wireless transmitting unit and the converting unit is shorter than any one of a distance between the wireless transmitting unit and the image pickup device, and a distance between the wireless transmitting unit and the image processing unit.
