The object of the present invention is to enable reliable supply of oxygen
which is necessary for a fuel cell to generate electric power, to the
fuel cell.In a camera, air orifices for linking the space inside a cell
compartment with the outside of a casing are disposed in a position other
than the portion (grip portion) which is held by a user, in the vicinity
of the center of the front surface of the casing, that is, in the
vicinity of a lens-barrel, and a concave-convex portion serving as an air
orifice guard is formed at the side opposite to that where the
lens-barrel is disposed with respect to the air orifices. As a result,
even when the user takes a picture of an object by holding the camera
with his/her own hand, the air orifices are prevented from being closed
by the user's hand, oxygen (air) can be constantly supplied to the fuel
cell accommodated inside the cell compartment, and the fuel cell can
continuously generate a sufficient quantity of electricity. The present
invention can be employed in a camera.
