Abstract
An imaging device includes a communication part that transmits an image data to an external display device, an outer barrel in which at least one lens is disposed, an imaging element, an image taking button, a power button, and a zoom switch, in which a circumferential surface part is provided at the outer barrel, in which the image taking button is disposed on a left side of the circumferential surface part, in which the power button is disposed at an upper side of the circumferential surface part, and in which the zoom switch is disposed at the circumferential surface part.
Claims36
An imaging apparatus configured to transmit an image data to an external display device via wireless communication, comprising:
- an outer barrel in which at least one lens is disposed at a front side thereof;
- an imaging element;
- an image taking button;
- a power button;
- a zoom switch;
- and
- a tripod connection part configured to connect with a tripod, wherein
- a circumferential surface part is provided at the outer barrel,
- the power button is disposed at the circumferential surface part,
- the tripod connection part is disposed at a side of the circumferential surface part that is opposite from a location of the power button,
- the image taking button and the zoom switch are disposed at a right side of the circumferential surface part with respect to both the power button and the tripod connection part when viewed from the front side of the outer barrel with the power button in an upward position, and
- a projection of a first axis on a plane is substantially perpendicular to a projection of a second axis on the plane, the first axis being through the at least one lens and the tripod connection part, and the second axis being through the at least one lens and the image taking button, wherein the plane is perpendicular to a light axis of the at least one lens.
