If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an instant camera with dual shooting buttons includes a body 1, a first shooting button 2 is provided on the top of the body 1 near one side, and a second shooting button 5 is provided on the top of the body 1 near the middle.

[0026] As described above, in specific implementation, the first shooting button 2 is suitable for horizontal shooting, and the second shooting button 5 is suitable for vertical shooting. This allows the user to stably press the corresponding shooting button in both horizontal and vertical shooting positions, ensuring stable shooting in both modes, guaranteeing image clarity, and improving the user experience.

[0027] As described above, in specific implementation, the first shooting button 2 is located on the top left or right side of the camera body 1. Thus, when the first shooting button 2 is located on the top left side of the camera body 1, the camera is suitable for left-handed users to shoot horizontally; similarly, when the first shooting button 2 is located on the top right side of the camera body 1, the camera is suitable for right-handed users to shoot horizontally. In practical applications, it is known that most users are right-handed. Therefore, as... Figure 1-4 As shown, in this case, the first shooting button 2 is preferably located on the top right side of the body 1.

[0028] As described above, in specific implementation, when the first shooting button 2 is located on the top left side of the body 1, a body protrusion 3 is provided on the top of the body 1 to the right of the first shooting button 2, and the second shooting button 5 is located on the upper right side of the body protrusion 3 near the middle of the body 1. This makes the camera suitable for left-handed users to use for vertical shooting. Similarly, when the first shooting button 2 is located on the top right side of the body 1, a body protrusion 3 is provided on the top of the body 1 to the left of the first shooting button 2, and the second shooting button 5 is located on the upper left side of the body protrusion 3 near the middle of the body 1. This makes the camera suitable for right-handed users to use for vertical shooting. In practical applications, it is known that most users are right-handed. Therefore, as... Figure 1-4 As shown, in this embodiment, a body protrusion 3 is preferably provided on the top of the body 1 at the position to the left of the first shooting button 2, and the second shooting button 5 is located on the upper left side of the body protrusion 3 near the middle of the body 1.

[0029] As described above, in a specific implementation, a body protrusion 3 is provided on the top of the body 1, and the second shooting button 5 is located on the body protrusion 3. This makes the height of the first shooting button 2 lower than that of the second shooting button 5. This design is more in line with the distance the index finger can extend when shooting horizontally, conforms to ergonomics, and makes the appearance more three-dimensional and aesthetically pleasing.

[0030] As described above, in specific implementations, the first shooting button 2 and / or the second shooting button 5 are touch buttons. This allows for more sensitive triggering of the camera to capture images.

[0031] like Figure 2-3As shown, in a specific implementation, the upper side of the body boss 3 is provided with a button mounting through hole 4. The second shooting button 5 is disposed in the button mounting through hole 4. The outer sides of the second shooting button 5 are respectively provided with a button positioning mounting part 51 and a button elastic reset part 52 for the second shooting button 5 to spring back and reset. The other end of the button positioning mounting part 51 and the other end of the button elastic reset part 52 are respectively connected to the upper side of the body boss 3 on both sides of the button mounting through hole 4. Thus, the button mounting through hole 4 connects the second shooting button 5 to the shooting trigger component inside the body 1. When the second shooting button 5 is pressed to trigger the camera shooting function, the button elastic reset part 52 deforms; when the second shooting button 5 is not pressed, the button elastic reset part 52 springs back, causing the pressed second shooting button 5 to reset. The structure is simple and practical, and it ensures that the second shooting button 5 can easily spring back and reset, and also provides a tactile feedback when pressed.

[0032] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a specific implementation, the upper side of the body boss 3 is provided with a boss groove 31, and the button mounting through hole 4 is disposed in the boss groove 31. The other end of the button positioning mounting part 51 and the other end of the button elastic reset part 52 are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the boss groove 31. The boss groove 31 is covered with a cover 6, and the cover 6 is provided with a cover through hole 61 for the second shooting button 5 to pass through. In this way, by setting the cover 6, the second shooting button 5 is limited and disposed in the button mounting through hole 4, while better protecting the button positioning mounting part 51 and the button elastic reset part 52, and preventing foreign objects from entering the body 1 through the button mounting through hole 4.

[0033] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in a specific implementation, the boss groove 31 is provided with a button mounting groove 32, and the button mounting through hole 4 is disposed in the button mounting groove 32. The other end of the button positioning mounting part 51 and the other end of the button elastic reset part 52 are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the button mounting groove 32. In this way, it is convenient for the second shooting button 5 to be quickly positioned and installed on the button mounting through hole 4.

[0034] like Figure 2-4As shown, in a specific implementation, the other end of the button positioning and mounting part 51 is provided with the mounting part through hole 53, and the other end of the button elastic reset part 52 is provided with the reset part through hole 54. The bottom surface of the button mounting groove 32 is provided with mounting part connecting holes 33 and reset part connecting holes 34 respectively corresponding to the mounting part through hole 53 and the reset part through hole 54. The lower side of the cover 6 is provided with cover mounting part connecting posts 62 that are inserted into the mounting part through hole 53 and the mounting part connecting hole 33, and cover reset part connecting posts 63 that are inserted into the reset part through hole 54 and the reset part connecting hole 34. Thus, after the cover 6 is closed, the cover mounting part connecting post 62 connects the mounting part through hole 53 and the mounting part connecting hole 33, and the cover reset part connecting post 63 connects the reset part through hole 54 and the reset part connecting hole 34, so that the second shooting button 5 is quickly positioned and installed on the button mounting through hole 4.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, in a specific implementation, a limiting block 41 is provided on the inner side of the button mounting through hole 4, located below the second shooting button 5. Thus, the limiting block 41 limits the maximum downward pressing position of the second shooting button 5, thereby protecting the button positioning mounting part 51 and the button elastic reset part 52 of the second shooting button 5.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in a specific implementation, the length of the button positioning and mounting part 51 is less than the length of the button elastic reset part 52, and the button elastic reset part 52 is a V-shaped elastic element. This reduces the size of the second shooting button 5 while ensuring that the button elastic reset part 52 has a strong reset elastic force.

[0037] like Figure 2-4 As shown, in a specific implementation, the inner bottom surface of the boss groove 31 is provided with multiple latches 35, and the lower side of the cover 6 is provided with multiple buckles 64 that respectively cooperate with the latches 34. In this way, the cover 6 is securely installed and fastened to the boss groove 31.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, in a specific implementation, the handheld part 11 is provided on the right side of the body 1, and the first shooting button 2 is located on the upper side of the body 1 above the handheld part 11, so that when shooting horizontally, the right hand holding the handheld part 11 can keep the camera stable, and at the same time, the first shooting button 2 can be easily and stably pressed by the right index finger to trigger the shooting.

[0039] like Figure 1As shown, in specific implementation, the second shooting button 5 is located on the left side of the upper side of the body protrusion 3, near the middle of the body 1. This facilitates vertical shooting and allows the right index finger to stably press and trigger the second shooting button 5 to shoot when the right palm supports the left side of the camera, keeping the camera stable and preventing it from shaking when the button is pressed.

[0040] As described above, in specific implementation, the distance between the first shooting button 2 and the bottom surface of the body 1 is 5-8cm, and preferably 6.5cm. This distance is consistent with the finger size of most users when pressing the first shooting button 2 with their right index finger during horizontal shooting. The distance between the first shooting button 2 and the second shooting button 5 is 2-6cm, and preferably 3.5cm. The distance between the second shooting button 5 and the right side of the body 1 is 2.5-6.5cm, and preferably 4cm. This distance is consistent with the finger size of most users when pressing the second shooting button 5 with their right index finger during vertical shooting.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, in a specific implementation, pin 19 of the control chip U1 of the control module is connected to two shooting button switches K3 and K5, which are respectively triggered by pressing the first shooting button 2 and the second shooting button 5. By triggering one of the shooting button switches, a shooting control signal is input to the control chip U1.

[0042] like Figure 6 As shown, in specific implementation, the camera in this case also includes a digital display component circuit, an aperture recommendation LED light circuit, an ambient light detection circuit, and a flash brightness detection circuit, etc.; Figure 6 As shown, in specific implementation, the camera in this case is also equipped with a power supply battery, a 300V boost circuit, a flash circuit, an MCU power control circuit, a 4V boost circuit, and a drive motor circuit.
