ABSTRACT:
In a video camera, an outward protruding part is provided on a camera body which contains a converter for converting an object image into a video signal; a rotary unit having a viewfinder which is capable of displaying an image related to the video signal is provided with a connecting part which is of a shape corresponding to the protruding part; and the connecting part is turnable relative to the protruding part. The camera is thus arranged to be adequately operable under any shooting condition, to permit effective utilization of spaces available within the camera body, to reduce a load on the connecting part and to permit reduction in weight. Further, in the video camera, with first and second connecting parts provided on the camera body which contains the converter for converting the object image into a video signal, the viewfinder which is capable of displaying an image related to the video signal is turnably carried by the first connecting part; a rotary member which is disposed near a grip for holding the camera body is turnably carried by the second connecting part; and the viewfinder is interlocked with the rotary member. The camera arranged in this manner is also adequately operable under any shooting condition and reduces a load on each connecting part and thus reduces the weight of the camera.
