Claims11
A wearable camera comprising:
- a body;
- a video recording button that is provided on a frontal face of the body in an area on one side having one center line on the frontal face as a boundary;
- and
- a mode changeover switch that is provided on a side of the body existing in the area on the one side,
- wherein the mode changeover switch includes an operating section which is directly operated by an operator, and a linear slot in which the operating section moves, and
- wherein a most-frequently-used mode having the highest frequency of use in case of emergency is positioned on at least one end of the slot.
A wearable camera comprising, within a body of the camera performing image capturing processing:
- an imaging lens which captures an image of an imaging target;
- and
- a display which displays a state related to the image capturing processing,
- wherein the imaging lens is disposed on a front face of the body,
- wherein the display is disposed on a top face of the body, and
- wherein the top face of the body is configured to be inclined so as to cause a rear face side to be lower than the front face side in order to not allow the imaging target to visually recognize light emitted from the display which displays a video recording state.
A wearable camera comprising, within a body of the camera performing image capturing processing:
- an imaging lens which captures an image of an imaging target, and
- a display which displays a state related to the image capturing processing,
- wherein the imaging lens is disposed on a front face of the body,
- wherein the display is disposed on a top face of the body, and
- wherein an angle formed by the top face and the front face of the body is configured to be smaller than an angle formed by the top face and the rear face in order to not allow the imaging target to visually recognize light emitted from the display which displays a video recording state.
A wearable camera comprising, within a body of the camera performing image capturing processing:
- an imaging lens which captures an image of an imaging target, and
- a display which displays a state related to the image capturing processing,
- wherein the imaging lens is disposed on a front face of the body,
- wherein the display is disposed on a top face of the body, and
- wherein the top face of the body is configured to be blocked by an area of the top face on the front face side in order to not allow the imaging target to visually recognize light emitted from the display which displays the video recording state.
