Abstract

A plurality of IC chips forming an electronic circuit serving to control at least a part of a camera body are mounted to a flexible printed circuit board. These plural IC chips are arranged in asymmetry with each other with respect to a predetermined bending line of the flexible printed circuit board such that, when the flexible printed circuit board is bent by about 180.degree. along the predetermined bending line, these IC chips do not overlap with each other.
