In a camera of the invention, during focus detection, luminous flux from an object is transmitted by a main mirror via an imaging lens, and then, is reflected by a reflection face of a sub-mirror. The reflected luminous flux is reflected by the main mirror, passes through a field stop, and is reflected by a guide mirror. The luminous flux reflected by this guide mirror is incident on a photoelectric converter element through a diaphragm and a refocusing lens. The luminous flux reflected by the main mirror reaches an eyepiece lens through a focusing glass and a pentaprism. During imaging, the main mirror and the sub-mirror are retracted from the imaging optical path. The luminous flux having passed through the imaging lens is guided to an image pickup device via an infrared filter and a low-pass filter.
