The imaging lens 111 is configured to form an optical image of a subject on the imaging device 112. The imaging lens 111 may include a plurality of lenses. It is possible to perform adjustment of optical zooming magnification, focusing, etc. by causing the lenses to travel. The imaging device 112 is configured to form the subject image on a light receiving surface through the imaging lens 111 and to generate an electric signal by photoelectric conversion. The imaging device 112 may be configured of a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor, for example. The lens driving section 113 is configured to drive the lenses in the imaging lens 111 for adjusting the optical zooming magnification, an F-number, focusing, etc.

The signal processing section 102 is configured to perform various signal processes on an imaging signal outputted from the imaging device 112, and to thereby generate image data to be displayed on the viewfinder 20 and the display section 12, image data to be recorded by the image recording section 104, and the like.

The image recording section 104 is configured to record the image data in a recording medium inside or outside the body which is not illustrated.

The operation section 105 may include the power source button 15, the shutter button 16, the operation buttons 17, the control wheel 18, the operation buttons 18A, and the control ring 19 illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 10 described above.
