Field of the Invention The present invention has both functions of an electronic image pickup device having an electronic image pickup device for converting a subject image into an electric signal, and a silver halide photographing device for photographing the subject image on a silver halide film. , A silver halide photography and an electronic imaging camera.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a silver halide camera that exposes a subject image to a silver halide film, it is impossible to determine whether or not the image photographed on the film is projected as intended by the photographer without developing the film. Sometimes it is generally impossible to predict the outcome. To solve this, at the same time as exposing the subject image to the silver halide film, the subject image photoelectrically converted by the electronic imaging device is stored in the memory,
A camera for both silver halide photography and electronic imaging that displays the stored subject image on a monitor has been proposed.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-133038 discloses that when a shutter is closed, a light beam is branched to a finder optical system by a half mirror, and when the shutter is opened,
It is shown that a half mirror is rotated to split a subject light beam into an image sensor and a photosensitive material, and is exposed to a silver halide film, converted into a video signal by the image sensor, and recorded on a recording medium.
