Abstract:
An electronic image recording apparatus comprising:an optical unit comprising a taking lens and an imaging device for converting a subject image formed by the taking lens into an analog image signal representing the subject image; a first circuit board on which an analog/digital converter is mounted, the analog/digital converter converting the analog image signal sent from the imaging device into a digital image signal; a second circuit board on which a compression/decompression circuit is mounted, the compression/decompression circuit compressing the digital image signal sent from the analog/digital converter to record onto a recording medium and decompressing a compressed digital image signal read from the recording medium; a recording medium chamber into which the recording medium is detachably inserted, the compressed digital image signal sent from the compression/decompression circuit being recorded onto the inserted recording medium, the compressed digital image signal recorded in the inserted recording medium being read from the inserted recording medium, the recording medium chamber being shielded with a wall having conductivity of electricity; and an image display unit comprising a display for displaying the image captured by the imaging device, the image display unit being shielded with a wall having conductivity of electricity; and wherein the first circuit board, the recording medium chamber, the second circuit board and the image display unit are arranged in that order and parallel to one another such that the recording medium chamber and the image display unit themselves serve as shields.
