A photographic lens system for forming an object image is placed in the lens
barrel
of an electronic camera. In a camera body, a beam splitter for forming branched
optical paths and an image sensing element for photoelectrically converting the
formed object image are arranged. The beam splitter and the image sensing element
are attached and disposed in the outer casing by a holding frame structure. The
photographic lens system is attached and disposed in the lens barrel, which has
a heat-radiating barrel made of aluminum. A heat-transfer path from the image sensing
element to the heat-radiating barrel is formed by a back plate and a prism frame
both made of aluminum, which are part of the holding frame structure.
