An electronic camera includes a camera main body and a lens barrel arranged
on the front face of the camera main body to extend forward therefrom, and
to hold an image-pickup lens therein. A U-shaped protruding cover is
attached to the lens barrel to extend downward therefrom. The bottoms of
the camera main body and the protruding cover are level with each other.
First and second windows are arranged on the front face of the protruding
cover. A lamp for emitting an auto-focus assist light is arranged in the
protruding cover to face the first window. A sensor for receiving a light
signal from a remote control is arranged in the protruding cover to face
the second window.
