Abstract
In through image display mode, a CPU drives two CCDs under control suitable for the through image display in such a way that image data captured by both CCDs are read out alternately (S1), and displays image data output alternately from one CCD and the other CCD on a display unit (S2). In an AF mode, the CPU changes over a driving of one CCD to a driving suitable for an AF process to executes the AF process (S4), and performs through image display on image data imaged by the other CCD (S5). In a still picture shooting mode, the CPU drives the one CCD under control suitable for a still picture shooting process to execute the still picture shooting process (S10), and performs through image display on image data imaged by the other CCD (S11).
