Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an electronic viewfinder unit that includes an image display element configured to display an image, an eyepiece optical system configured to enable the image to be observed from a rear side of the imaging apparatus, and a holder unit configured to hold the eyepiece optical system and the image display element. The holder unit moves the eyepiece optical system from a retracted position in which the eyepiece optical system is retracted in a body of the electronic viewfinder unit to an observable position in which the eyepiece optical system projects from the body of the electronic viewfinder unit to the rear side from the retracted position, and moves the image display element to the rear side.
