ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a digital camera with a live view display function, which is designed to make dust less noticeable. The digital camera includes an image pickup device that receives a subject light flux which has passed a photographing lens and outputs a subject image signal, a dust-proof optical element arranged in front of the imaging surface of the image pickup device, and a display device that provides a live view display of the subject as a move image based on the output of the image pickup device. The digital camera executes a dust removal operation of vibrating the dust-proof optical element in response to initiation or stop of a live view display by the display device.
