ABSTRACT:
A camera is capable of both silver-halide shooting, through which object images are recorded on silver-halide film, and video shooting, although its distance measurement device is placed substantially in the same way and its mirror box has substantially the same size as in ordinary single-lens reflex cameras. In this camera, a pellicle mirror splits the light flux having passed through a taking lens into a first light flux and a second light flux, and a rotatable mirror switches the subsequent path of the second light flux between the optical path for a third light flux and the optical path for a fourth light flux. The pellicle mirror, through its light flux splitting function, directs the first light flux to a silver-halide shooting system, and directs the second light flux to the rotatable mirror. The rotatable mirror, through its optical path switching function, either directs the third light flux to an optical viewfinder system, or directs the fourth light flux to a video shooting system.
