Abstract
The invention concerns an optical system adapted to split an optical path from a taking optical system into a finder optical system, which has a camera-shake correction function best suited for the finder optical system, and so on. This optical system comprises a taking optical system and a finder optical system. The taking optical system comprises an optical path splitter means operable to split an optical path into the finder optical system, and the finder optical system includes a relay optical system RLS for re-forming a subject image once. Anti-shake is implemented by shifting an optical subsystem RL that forms a part of the finder optical system in a plane vertical to an optical axis.
