An electronic camera includes: an image-capturing device that stores a signal electrical charge achieved by performing photoelectric conversion on a subject image projected on a photosensitive surface and reads out the signal electrical charge to generate an image signal; and a photographing preparation device that executes photographing preparations for photoelectric conversion performed at the image-capturing device. And the photographic preparation device executes at least some of the photographing preparations for photographing a next frame during an electrical charge read period at the image-capturing device.
