Recently, miniaturization of digital cameras has been promoted. As a result, the memory card and the release member are downsized, the space for inserting and removing the memory card is reduced, and the operability is deteriorated. For this reason, there is also a digital camera configured such that if the top of the memory card is pressed when the memory card is removed from the storage section, the memory card automatically projects by a predetermined amount and does not require a release member.

Further, when a battery chamber for accommodating a battery is provided in the vicinity of the storage unit for the memory card, it is difficult in terms of space to provide a cover member for the battery chamber independently of the cover member for the storage unit for the memory card. Therefore, there is also a digital camera in which both lid members are configured in common. In this case, when the lid member is opened, the battery projects due to the contact pressure of the battery contact piece inside the battery chamber, so try to press the release member or the top of the memory card for the memory card removal operation. The battery is an obstacle and hard to press. Therefore, a problem arises in that the battery must be removed before removing the memory card. For this reason, there is also a digital camera in which the battery is locked so that the battery does not protrude above the memory card or the like. However, in this case, the contact piece pressure of the battery contact piece provided on the battery lid is insufficient, and a large number of members are required to lock the plurality of batteries, which is technically and costly. There's a problem.

However, "problems to be solved by the invention"
As mentioned above, in recent years, digital cameras have become smaller,
Along with this, the final pressing operation of the memory card M becomes difficult, and the release lever 13 is also downsized, making it difficult to perform the pressing operation. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the cover member 12 is used to finally press the memory card M when the memory card M is stored, and the cover member 12 also presses the release lever 13 when the memory card M is removed. By doing so, the user's operation in a narrow space becomes unnecessary.

Next, the lid member 12 is rotated about the support shaft 12a to bring it to the state shown in FIG. 1 (B). Here, since the camera body 11 is provided with the elongated hole 11a that engages with the support shaft 12a, the lid member 12 is slid to the right from the state of FIG. To the closed state. At this time, the first protrusion 12b formed on the lid member portion 12 having an inward slope presses the top Ma of the memory card M, so that the memory card M as shown in FIG. Inserted deeper than the above state and stored in the storage part, and automatically connected to the connector and locked. At this time, the release lever 13 projects in association with the insertion of the memory card M.

Next, a procedure for removing the memory card M from the storage section will be described. The lid member 12 is slid to the left from the closed state of FIG. 1C to the state of FIG. At this time, the second protrusion 12c formed on the lid member portion 12 having an inwardly inclined surface presses the top portion 13a of the release lever 13, so that the release lever 13 sinks and the first protrusion 12b becomes the memory card. Since it is moved from the top Ma of M, the memory card M is released from the connection with the connector in conjunction with the pressing of the release lever 13 and protrudes to a predetermined height. At this time, since the first protrusion 12b and the second protrusion 12c are located outside the memory card M, they do not interfere with the protrusion of the memory card M.

In order to miniaturize the digital camera,
In some cases, the battery chamber that stores the batteries must be close to the storage unit. At this time, the lid member 12 also serves as a lid member that covers the battery chamber. This state is shown in FIG. 2, which is a diagram of FIG. 1C viewed from the left. In FIG. 2, the battery B is located in the vicinity of the memory card M, but when the cover member 12 is opened due to the contact piece pressure of the battery contact piece (not shown) located on the bottom surface of the battery B, the battery B also appears. Project. However, if the battery B is projected above the memory card M or the protruding heights of the memory card M and the battery B are substantially the same, the battery B becomes an obstacle and the operation of taking out the memory card M becomes difficult. Become. Therefore, the memory card M is the battery B
It is desirable that the protrusion be higher than a predetermined height H.
