A main electronic imaging device takes in as a taken-image an image of a
subject obtained through an imaging lens. An electronic finder device
photoelectrically first generates the image of the subject and generates
an image signal. Based on the generated image signal, the electronic
finder device places the imaging range PA substantially at the center,
generates an image of finder range FA that is one size larger than the
imaging range PA, and provides the image of finder range FA that is
generated with an imaging frame 47a that expresses the outer border of
the imaging range so as to obtain the image as a finder image, and
controls so that the finder image is displayed on a display 47. As a
result, the imaging range PA is smaller than the finder range FA but is
smaller by only one size. The ratio occupied by the imaging range PA
within the finder range FA is accordingly sufficiently large, and the
imaging range PA can be recognized easily and without fail.
