There is provided a camera of which operability is good regardless of the brightness of the surrounding environment. The brightness of the surrounding environment is detected by a brightness detection unit provided in a camera. The contents of settings of the camera are displayed on a sub-display 18 in a situation in which the surrounding environment is bright. The contents of settings of the camera and an image representing the set state of a shutter speed dial 33 are displayed on the sub-display 18 in a case in which the surrounding environment is dark.

Systems and methods directed to a digital rangefinder camera are described. The digital rangefinder camera may include a viewfinder assembly configured to receive a first optical image from a first optical path and a focus ring movement detection assembly configured to detect an amount of movement associated with a focus ring of a lens attached to the digital rangefinder camera. A processing device may be configured to provide a movement signal indicative of the amount of movement associated with the focus ring to an actuator coupled to an optical element, where the actuator moves the optical element and displaces a second optical image from a second optical path directed toward an optical component in the viewfinder assembly. The optical component in the viewfinder assembly is configured to project the first optical image and the second optical image toward a single common viewing position when the first optical image and the second optical image coincide.
