Magnetic recording/reproducing device

本发明的摄像一体型照相机，使照相机本体部小型化，即使小型化而表面积减少，也能高效率地配置各构成部件，提高操作性。本发明的磁记录再生装置，至少包括照相机本体部和把手部。照相机本体部具有镜头、取景像器、操作按钮组。把手部自由开闭或自由旋转地设在照相机本体部上，并兼作为电池收容部。上述电池收容部通过旋转轴在垂直方向可旋转地设在照相机本体部的一个侧面；并且，具有在被设定的位置保持锁定状态的锁定机构。可以使照相机本体部更加小型化，携带方便，而且，可将电池收容部作为把手部使用，所以，即使使照相机本体部小型化，也不破坏设计上的制约，可有效地配置各构成部件，提高操作性。 It is a build-in video type camera wherein a camera body unit is miniaturized, and even a surface area becomes small, by the miniaturization, the operability is improved by effectively arranging each devices. A magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus which comprises a camera body unit including, at least, a lens, a view finder, and a group of operation buttons, and a grip unit installed to be open/close or to be rotatable to the camera body and is combined with a battery housing unit, and is so configured wherein the above mentioned battery housing unit is provided to be rotatable in a vertical direction to one side of the camera body unit through an rotational axis and is equipped with the lock mechanism to be maintained in a lock state at a preset position, and accordingly, the camera body unit can be further miniaturized to be convenient for carrying, and further the battery housing unit can be used as a grip unit, so that it is possible to effectively arrange each devices, and to improve the operability without destroying limitation in a design.
