Abstract
This electronic camera changes display characteristics (such as brightness, contrast, and hue) of an image displayed on an electronic view finder (EVF) in accordance with characteristics (such as brightness and hue) of environment light. For example, as the brightness of environment light increases, the brightness of an image displayed on the EVF is reduced, or the hue of an image displayed on the EVF is changed in a direction opposite to that of changing the hue of the environment light. By the operation, the display characteristics of an image displayed on the EVF can be optimized in accordance with the characteristics of the environment light. By automatically displaying a live view on the EVF when the brightness of the environment light is high or displaying a pre-light emission image captured with a flash, the display states of the LCD and EVF are optimized.

19. An electronic camera capable of emitting flash light with which a subject is irradiated, comprising:
-
an image pickup device for capturing an image of the subject;
a first display capable of electrically displaying the image of the subject captured by said image pickup device;
a second display capable of electrically displaying the image of the subject captured by said image pickup device in a display mode different from that of said first display; and
a controller for controlling display on said first and second displays, wherein said controller displays the image of the subject irradiated with said flash light onto said first display, and displays the image of the subject captured by said image pickup device onto said second display in predetermined cycles. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)

22. An electronic camera comprising:
-
a first display capable of electrically displaying a captured image;
a second display capable of electrically displaying the captured image in a display mode different from that of said first display; and
an adjuster for adjusting a gain of an image displayed on said first display and a gain of an image displayed on said second display, wherein said adjuster amplifies the image displayed on said first display by a first gain and amplifies the image displayed on said second display by a second gain different from said first gain. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24)
