The invention concerns an optical system adapted to split an optical path
from a taking optical system into a finder optical system, which has a
camera-shake correction function best suited for the finder optical
system, and so on. This optical system comprises a taking optical system
and a finder optical system. The taking optical system comprises an
optical path splitter means operable to split an optical path into the
finder optical system, and the finder optical system includes a relay
optical system RLS for re-forming a subject image once. Anti-shake is
implemented by shifting an optical subsystem RL that forms a part of the
finder optical system in a plane vertical to an optical axis.
