A camera including first and second modules combinable to form the camera. The first module can be a camera module, and the second module can be a camera control module. In one embodiment, the camera module includes an image sensor, light source, and motion sensor, and the camera control module includes a power source receiver, camera control system, and image storage device port. The camera control module can be used separated from the camera module for functions such as viewing and editing images or camera settings.

A carrier medium embodied as a light guide has an input coupling region and an output coupling region, each of which are embodied as a holographic element. The carrier medium forms a cover plate for an image display region of a screen and the input coupling region is at least one partial region of the cover plate surface. Light incident on the input coupling region from the surroundings is coupled into the carrier medium, transmitted to the output coupling region by internal reflection and is in turn coupled out from the output coupling region. The coupled-out light is captured by an image capturing device and used to generate image data correlated with the captured light.

An electronic device according to an embodiment includes a camera movement assembly configured to move a camera module between the inside and the outside of a housing. The camera movement assembly includes a camera connection portion which has a connection part connected to the camera module and is capable of moving between a first position at which the camera module is stored in the housing and a second position at which the camera module protrudes outs of the housing, a push portion which is driven to push the camera connection portion to be moved from the first position to the second position when the camera connection portion is at the first position and is driven to be separated from the camera connection portion when the camera connection portion is at the second position, a restoring member which provides a restoration force to the camera connection portion to return the camera connection portion from the second position to the first position, and a locking portion which restricts a position movement of the camera connection portion when the camera connection portion is at the second position. When the camera module protrudes out of the housing, the camera connection portion is maintained by the locking portion at the second position, and a space may exist between the camera connection portion and the push portion.

In an electronic apparatus, a display at least partially has flexibility, includes a plurality of display portions, and includes a bending portion at each of boundaries of the display portions. An electronic apparatus includes, near each bending portion, a hinge portion that relatively rotatably couples two display portions and is configured to be bendable at each bending portion as a start point in response to rotation of each hinge portion. A main body coupling member rotatably couples the display to the main body portion. The display is able to transition to an accommodated state in which the display overlaps at a position that is different from the grip portion inside an outer shape of the main body portion and an unfolded state in which the plurality of display portions are unfolded in a parallel and same direction.

An imaging apparatus includes a main body having an imaging element; a rectangular display disposed along one surface of the main body; and a hinge unit that movably connects the display to the main body. The hinge unit includes a support portion connected to the main body so as to be rotationally movable about a first axis by a pair of first hinges on the first axis extending along one of two sides of the display which are at right angles to each other. The display is supported by the support portion so as to be rotationally movable about a second axis by a pair of second hinges on the second axis extending along other of the two sides of the display which are at right angles to each other. One of the pair of first hinges is disposed between the pair of second hinges.

An adapter device includes a first mount on one side and a second mount on another side. The first mount is detachably mounted to an imaging apparatus, and the second mount is detachably mounted to an accessory. The first mount has first through third mount recesses and first through third mount claws, disposed following a circumferential direction. The second mount has fourth through sixth mount recesses and fourth through sixth mount claws, disposed following the circumferential direction. The first through third mount claws are insertable to mount recesses on another imaging apparatus. The fourth through sixth mount claws are insertable to mount recesses on another accessory. A smallest angle range out of angle ranges in the circumferential direction of the first through third mount recesses is equal to or smaller than a smallest angle range out of angle ranges in the circumferential direction of the fourth through sixth mount claws.

An imaging device capable of detecting an attitude of a display unit with respect to a body unit is miniaturized. Therefore, an imaging device includes: a display support unit configured to support a display unit that displays an image captured by a body unit; a first arm unit of which one end is connected to the display support unit; a first magnet provided in one of the display support unit and the first arm unit; and a first magnetic sensor provided in the other of the display support unit and the first arm unit. A pivoting state of the display support unit and the first arm unit is variable using a first pivoting axis as a support point axis. The first magnetic sensor receives a magnetic field released from the first magnet and outputs a signal in accordance with the pivoting state of the display support unit and the first arm unit.
