Video camera

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To easily recognize a relation between a picture which is being image-picked up at present and its surrounding background by constituting a display part with a thin liquid crystal display panel incorporated with an illumination light source which is so provided that it is tiltable back and forth in the upper part of a camera mainbody. CONSTITUTION:The liquid crystal display panel 6 which is so constituted that it is tiltable back and forth, and which can be stored in a lowered part 51 with knocking it down to this side is provided in the corner of the lowered part 51 on this side of an upper surface 5. The display part of said panel 6 faces the side of a finder 7 on this side and the panel 6 is provided with a color LCD panel 61. A diffusion panel 62 is provided on a front side and the illumination light source 63 is provided on the lower side of a clearance between the diffusion panel 62 and the panel 61. Shaft supporting parts 64 which are movable to the back corner of the lowered part 51 and which can hold the shaft in the position of a prescribed angle are formed on both ends of the lower part. If the liquid crystal display panel 6 is made to rise for usage, a light beam on the side of a subject is made incident on the back surface of the diffusion panel 62 in the liquid crystal panel 6 as a back beam, whereby the picture which is being image-picked up at present can directly be recognized in the liquid crystal display panel 6.
