Abstract
A display panel is incorporated on the back of a camera body and a cover plate is pivotally attached to the side of the camera body. Operating buttons are provided on the inside of the cover plate. When the cover plate is closed, the operating buttons are contained in the camera body and covered with the cover plate. When the cover plate is opened, the inside of the cover plate faces substantially parallel to an indicating surface of the display panel. At this time, the operating buttons and the display panel are visible from a common vantage point.
