Waterproof camera system

Abstract

A waterproof camera system that maintains a wireless connection state with an external device while floating on a water surface includes an image pickup apparatus equipped with a wireless module, a waterproof casing that hermetically stores the image pickup apparatus, and a float attached to the waterproof casing. An antenna unit of the wireless module is arranged at either a position with a height approximately equal to a water surface or a position separated from the water surface in an above water direction in each of a first position where the waterproof camera system floats on the water surface so that the image pickup apparatus can perform underwater image pickup and a second position where the waterproof camera system floats on the water surface so that the image pickup apparatus can perform above water image pickup.
