Binoculars have a digital camera function. The binoculars comprise
observation optical-systems, an imaging-block, an indicating-device, and
an imaging-block direction changing device. The objective optical-systems
have objective optical-systems having first- and second-light axes, at
the front-face, and have ocular optical-systems at the rear-face. The
imaging-block has an imaging-lens, and an imaging-device. The
imaging-lens forms an image on an imaging-surface of the imaging-device,
and has a third-light axis. The imaging-device captures the image formed
on the imaging surface. The indicating-device has an indicating-surface
on which images are indicated, and is located on one of the top- and
bottom-face. The imaging-block direction changing device changes the
direction of the imaging-block between a first position, where the third
light-axis is parallel to the first- and second-light axes, and where the
imaging-surface faces the front-face, and a second position, where the
third light-axis is at a non-zero degree angle to the plane which
includes the first- and second-axes.
