A digital camera includes a first imaging section for acquiring subject
image data, a movable mirror for guiding the light beam of the subject to
a finder optical system, and a second imaging section for capturing the
subject image data in the finder optical system. In this structure, the
image acquired by the first imaging section and the image acquired by the
second imaging section are switched and selectively displayed depending
on the movement of the movable mirror. For example, the digital camera
can be configured such that the first imaging section is used to acquire
a shot image and the second imaging section is used to acquire a live
image.
