A selfie mirror for smartphones includes a combination of a mirror and a ferromagnetic metal plate arranged therebelow and connected to the mirror, as well as means for fixing the arrangement comprised of the mirror and the ferromagnetic metal plate to a smartphone or a smartphone case. The mirror and the metal plate may be mechanically connected to each other by means of an adhesive foil or adhesive layer arranged therebetween, or they may be mechanically held together and/or enclosed by a frame surrounding them around their periphery.

An imaging element captures an optical image incident through an imaging lens. A finder device is configured to be capable of observing the optical image. An EVFLCD displays information to be observable in a state of being overlapped on or being close to the optical image, in the finder device. An EVF display controller controls the EVFLCD so that target color temperature information indicating a color temperature that is a target of color temperature adjustment and image color temperature information indicating a color temperature of the captured image are displayed as the information. A color temperature adjustment unit adjusts the color temperature of the captured image obtained by capturing the optical image using the imaging element based on a color temperature adjustment operation. In a case where the color temperature adjustment operation is performed, the image color temperature information is changed in accordance with an adjustment operation amount.
