An electronic apparatus capable of locking a finder at a position where the finder is rotated. The electronic apparatus includes an apparatus body, a finder, and a support mechanism provided in an apparatus body, supporting the finder so as to be movable between a housed stat in which the finder is housed in the apparatus body, a pulled-out state in which the finder is pulled out from the apparatus body, a rotatable state in which the finder is rotatable from the pulled-out state, and a tilt-lock state in which the finder is locked at the rotated position from the pulled-out state. A rotation shaft serving as a rotation center of the finder is located outside the apparatus body in any of the pulled-out state, the rotated state, and the tilt-lock state, and moves into the apparatus body as the finder transitions to the housed state.

The present invention provides a multi-planar camera apparatus in which movable image capturing members that are connected to lateral space variators that are arranged to move laterally, horizontally and vertically in multiple planes and to cyclorotate, while capturing 3-D spatial images of the target-subject with enhanced depth angle and displaying directly through eye piece complexes or through a display unit. The multi-planar camera apparatus of the present invention is provided with a wider field of view to capture panoramic images of target-subjects. Further, the multi-planar camera of the present invention is equipped to capture 3-D spatial images of the target-subject without tilting or turning the body of the camera apparatus. Furthermore, the multi-planar camera apparatus of the present invention obliterates 3-D triangle of invisibility that forms between the image capturing members.

There is provided a camera of which operability is good regardless of the brightness of the surrounding environment. The brightness of the surrounding environment is detected by a brightness detection unit provided in a camera. The contents of settings of the camera are displayed on a sub-display 18 in a situation in which the surrounding environment is bright. The contents of settings of the camera and an image representing the set state of a shutter speed dial 33 are displayed on the sub-display 18 in a case in which the surrounding environment is dark.

A camera rotation device includes a connection tube, a rotation annulus, a resistance annulus, an oil film, and a driver. The rotation annulus and the resistance annulus are respectively sleeved at two opposite sides of the connection tube and are fixed to each other. The connection annulus includes a resistance portion, and the rotation annulus has a plurality of teeth in a ring-shaped arrangement. The oil film is arranged in a space surroundingly defined by the rotation annulus, the resistance annulus, and the resistance portion. The driver is engaged with at least one of the teeth, and a relative position of the driver and the connection tube is fixed. The driver is configured to rotate at least one of the teeth, such that the rotation ring and the resistance annulus are jointly rotated relative to the resistance portion, and generate a rotation resistance force through the oil film.
