Abstract

The imaging device includes a camera body, a first imaging unit, a display unit, a second imaging unit and a controller. The first imaging unit is fixedly disposed on the camera body and generates a first image data by capturing a subject image. The display unit is rotatable with respect to the camera body via a hinge unit. The second imaging unit is variably disposed on a side different from the hinge unit across the display face of the display unit and generates a second image data by capturing a subject image. The controller causes the display unit to display a superimposed image obtained by superimposing an image represented by the second image data on an image represented by the first image data. The image represented by the second image data is displayed on a side of the second imaging unit on the image represented by the first image data.
