To surely improve the waterproofness with packing of an opening and closing lid without very highly controlling manufacturing accuracy of a supporting shaft being the center part of the rotation and the like by improving the attaching structure of the lid which opens and closes an enclosure aperture in a waterproof camera.

In the waterproof camera, a battery cover 32 as the opening and closing lid for opening and closing the aperture formed in an enclosure 40 is made freely rotatable and openable or closable around the supporting shaft 47, and the battery cover 32 is made to have a waterproof structure by inserting an O-ring 43 in the gap between the enclosure 40 and the battery cover 32. That is, it is constituted so that the battery cover 32 is constituted such that it can close the aperture of the enclosure 40 in a state that the cover is adjusted and moved by a prescribe amount in the longitudinal direction of a long hole 48 by forming the long hole 48 whose longitudinal direction is parallel with the radial direction of the rotation of the cover 32 in the center part of the cover 32 and by inserting the supporting shaft 47 in the hole 48 and also by supporting the shaft 47 with the supporting member which is provided by fixing the position of the member at the proper place of the enclosure 40. The cover 32 is the opening and closing lid which covers a card slot part 30 for memory card insertion and a battery room 31 for loading various batteries.
