Abstract:
1. A digital camera, comprising: a housing; an exposure assembly accommodated within the housing; a locating post fixed to the housing; an elastic element wrapping round a portion of the locating post; a pivot release capping a distal end of the locating post; a contact sheet interposed between the elastic element and the pivot release and comprising a body, and two spring fingers respectively extending from two opposite sides of the body, the body defining an opening therein for passage of the locating post, the two spring fingers being tilted towards the pivot release; a rotatable assembly mounted on the top of the housing, the rotatable assembly comprising a base, a cover, and a circuit board interposed between the base and the cover, the circuit board defining a main opening for passage of the locating post, the base defining a base opening for passage of the locating post therein, the cover covering the base and defining a cover hole for passage of the locating post therein, the circuit board being electrically connected to the exposure for triggering the exposure assembly to expose, the rotatable assembly being rotatable about the locating post, two branch slots respectively extending from two opposite sides of the main opening for passage of the two spring fingers to contact the circuit board, wherein the pivot release is configured for pressing out of the two spring fingers from two branch slots, the circuit board is electrically connected to the exposure assembly via one of the two spring fingers of the contact sheet, selectively; and a shutter button disposed on a side of the rotatable assembly, being movable along the extending direction of the locating post, and electrically connected to the exposure assembly through the circuit board for triggering the exposure assembly to expose, and the shutter button can be position the right and left side by rotating the rotatable assembly to accommodate right-handed and left-handed users.
