Image pickup apparatus

1. An image pickup apparatus comprising:

a first exterior member made of a conductive material;

a second exterior member made of a nonconductive material; and

an antenna covered by the second exterior member and configured to provide a wireless communication,

wherein the antenna includes:

a feeder configured to supply a current;

an oscillator configured to oscillate the current as a radio wave; and

an intermediate part located between the feeder and the oscillator, and

wherein the feeder and the oscillator are farther from the first exterior member than the intermediate part.

2. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a substrate mounted with the antenna, and including a first side and a second side opposite to the first side,

wherein the feeder and the oscillator are closer to the first side than the second side, and the intermediate part is closer to the second side than the first side.

3. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna includes:

a first part that includes a conductor extending from the feeder in a first direction;

a second part that includes a conductor extending from an end of the first part in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction;

a third part as the intermediate part that includes a conductor extending from an end of the second part in the first direction; and

a fourth part connected to the oscillator that includes a conductor extending from an end of the third part in a third direction opposite to the second direction.

4. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an accessory shoe to which an accessory can be detachably attached,

wherein the feeder and the oscillator are farther from a wall in the first exterior member around the accessory shoe than the intermediate part.

5. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein a first minimum distance between the intermediate part and the wall is shorter than any one of a second minimum distance between the feeder and the wall and a third minimum distance between the oscillator and the wall.

6. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a pentaprism configured to introduce a light flux from an image pickup optical system to a viewfinder eyepiece,

wherein the antenna is provided on one of a pair of roof surfaces of the pentaprism.

7. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 6 , further comprising a substrate mounted with the antenna, wherein the substrate includes:

a first side closer to the feeder and the oscillator than the intermediate part;

a second side closer to the intermediate part than the feeder and the oscillator; and

a third side closer to the intermediate part and the oscillator than the feeder,

wherein the substrate is disposed so that the third side is closer to a ridge between the pair of roof surfaces than the first side and the second side.

8. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the feeder and the oscillator are covered by the second exterior member outside the first exterior member.

9. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the first exterior member has an opening,

wherein the second exterior member is provided outside the opening and connected to the first exterior member so as to cover the opening, and

wherein the feeder and the oscillator are covered by the second exterior member outside the opening.

10. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a first holder configured to hold a first communication module that has the antenna and a grounded part made of a metallic material,

wherein the first holder is made of a conductive material, contacts the grounded part, and is fixed onto the first exterior member.

11. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first holder is made of a material of a thermal conductivity higher than that of the first exterior member.

12. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a second communication module and a third communication module in the second exterior member, each of which provides a wireless communication using a wireless communication standard different from that of a first communication module having the antenna.

13. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 12 , further comprising a pentaprism configured to introduce a light flux from an image pickup optical system to a viewfinder eyepiece,

wherein the first communication module is provided on one of a pair of roof surfaces of the pentaprism, the second communication module is provided on the other of the pair of roof surfaces, and the third communication module is provided on a ridge between the pair of roof surfaces.

14. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 12 , further comprising a second holder configured to hold the second communication module and the third communication module, made of a nonconductive material, and fixed onto the first exterior member.

15. The image pickup apparatus according to claim 12 , wherein the first communication module is a wireless LAN module, the second communication module is a positioning module configured to receive a radio wave from a satellite for positioning, and the third communication module is a wireless PAN module.
