Abstract:
A digital camera provided with a mirror to reflect part of the object image light and transmit the remaining light, a finder to capture part of the reflected light, an image sensor to capture and photoelectrically convert the remaining transmitted light to image signals, and a display monitor for displaying the image signals captured by the image sensor as a display image. The digital camera is provided with an eyepiece shutter for shielding the eyepiece unit of the finder when the display monitor is used, or when the image sensor is used.
