FIELD: physics, photography.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to image capturing devices. The result is achieved due to that the digital camera includes a microcomputer (110) having a "live" display mode which controls such that image data generated by a CMOS sensor (130) or image data obtained through predefined processing of image data generated by the CMOS sensor (130) are displayed on a liquid-crystal display (150) as a moving image in real time. When the down button (141) receives an instruction relative the beginning of the automatic focusing operation in "live" display mode, the microcomputer (110) controls the movable mirror such that it enters the optical path in order to measure trough an AF sensor (132) and then enable the movable mirror to come out of the optical path in order to return the digital camera to the "live" display mode.
EFFECT: display of a subject image of a frame in "live" mode through an electronic view finder in a digital camera with a movable mirror.
