A rotatable semitransparent mirror is arranged at an inclination above the
optical path from the taking lens to the image sensing element, and the
light reflected by the semitransparent mirror is directed to an optical
finder provided above the mirror. The image sensed by the image sensing
element is displayed on a liquid crystal display. The variation in the
optical path from the taking lens to the image sensing element depending
on whether or not the semitransparent mirror is set on the optical path
is corrected by changing the position of the image sensing element or the
taking lens, such that the impingement state of the light on the image
sensing element or the optical path length from the taking lens to the
image sensing element is normally rendered fixed. Both the image provided
by the optical finder and the image displayed by the liquid crystal
display accurately represent the image forming state on the image sensing
element regardless of whether or not the semitransparent mirror is set on
the optical path.
