To downsize an electronic still camera equipped with a printer function.

A printing button 28 and printing auxiliary buttons 31 and 32 are provided on the back surface of the electronic still camera 10. When either button 31 or 32 is turned off, the camera is set in a printing inhibition state. The button 28 is pressed by a middle finger in a state where a body part 11 is grasped with a left hand and the buttons 31 and 32 are pressed by a thumb and a third finger. Since the printing inhibition state is released, printing operation is started. Instant film 25 exposed and developed is taken out to the outside from a paper ejection port 21 formed at a grip part 12. Since the developing carrying mechanism of the film 25 is provided at the grip part 12, the body part 11 is miniaturized.
