Abstract
A video camera comprising an image-forming lens system having an optical axis and a light-beam splitting means capable of splitting an incident light-beam from the image-forming lens system into a primary optical path along the optical axis and leading into a view finder means, and a secondary optical path bent at an angle to the primary optical path and leading into an electrical image-receiving means. There is provided a camera tube in the bent optical path and a view finder in the straight optical path. An electrical circuit means comprising printed circuit boards is arranged in a U-shape manner to cover three sides of the light-beam splitting means other than the side facing the secondary optical path.
