To reduce arranging space for a circuit board to constitute a compact camera by providing the circuit board on which electronic parts are mounted, a wiring board which connects electric parts and the circuit board, and a connector which connects the circuit board and the wiring board.
A circuit board unit 30 where an integrated circuit for performing the various control of the camera is mounted is housed in a direction perpendicular to a paper surface in figure between the side surface of a lens barrel 60 holding a lens and a film housing part holding a film cartridge and between the upper surface of the lens barrel 60 and a finder. The unit 30 is connected by various electric parts and the flexible wiring boards 31 to 34, and the circuit board 30 and the wiring boards 31 to 34 are connected by the connectors 40 to 43. Thus, the connection between the circuit boards is realized with small area and a connecting position is arranged in a dead space formed in the camera.
