Abstract
An electronic camera includes an electronic camera unit for generating a still image signal, an encoder for converting the still image signal from the electronic camera unit into a television signal and for issuing the television signal through an output terminal to a video recorder, and an electronic viewfinder for displaying the television signal as a visible image. The encoder and the electronic viewfinder are contained in an adapter detachably connected to the electronic camera unit. The television signal from the encoder is applied directly to a video circuit in the video viewfinder, and also delivered through a connector or a coupling terminal to the video recorder.
