ABSTRACT:
A camera consists of a first unit and a second unit removably connectable to the first unit. The first unit is provided with an imaging section including an optical system and an imaging device, that enables to capture high-quality images. The first unit is formed with a grip portion for holding and handling the camera as a combination of the first unit and the second unit. The second unit is provided with a driving device including a CPU, a lens driver circuit, a stop driver circuit and a timing generator, and a second imaging section including an optical system and an imaging device, that enables to capture relatively low-quality images. While the second unit is connected to the first unit, the driving device drives the imaging section of the first unit. While the second unit is not connected to the first unit, the driving device drives the imaging section of the second unit.
