First Claim
1. An electronic camera comprising a phototaking optical system, a two-dimensional image pickup element for receiving an object image formed by said phototaking optical system, a two-dimensional display element for displaying said object image in the form of an image to be viewed, and a magnifying optical system for guiding said image to a viewer'"'"'s eyeball, wherein:
- said magnifying optical system includes a first reflecting surface for turning back an optical path between said two-dimensional display element and said viewer'"'"'s eyeball to achieve compactness, said first reflecting surface being formed by a curved surface having an image-magnifying action.

Abstract
The invention relates to a compact electronic camera which enables an electronic image to be displayed on a two-dimensional display element while it is phototaken or after it has been phototaken, so that the image can be magnified and displayed by a compact magnifying optical system constructed of a curved reflecting mirror to view a phototaken image of high precision. An electronic camera for photoelectrically converting a subject image formed by a phototaking optical system 2 into an electronic image to be recorded comprises a two-dimensional display element 4 for displaying an electronic image during or after phototaking and a magnifying optical system 5 for magnifying an image displayed on the two-dimensional display element 4 in the form of a virtual image. The magnifying optical system 5 is constructed of at least one curved reflecting mirror 26 and a surface 28 having a combined reflecting and transmitting action.
