Abstract
A camera includes an image sensing unit which is arranged to be pivotal with respect to a main body unit and is used to sense an object image, an azimuth sensor which is arranged in the main body unit and is used to detect the azimuth of the facing direction of the main body unit, a pivot angle detector which detects the pivot angle of the image sensing unit with respect to the main body unit, a control unit which corrects the azimuth of the facing direction of the main body unit detected by the azimuth sensor on the basis of the pivot angle detected by the pivot angle detector, and a display unit which superimposes the correction result on a through image.
