Abstract

Electronic camera comprises an image taking unit and a memory unit connected detachably. The image taking unit generates image signals corresponding to an object. The image signals are transmitted to the memory unit to be stored therein.

The image taking unit has a monitor which can display the image signals in visual form before recording them in the memory unit.
