The signal processing circuit () outputs the image recorded to the image recording section () to a monitor when the magnification converting lens () is inserted onto an optical axis L. At the inserting time of the magnification converting lens, it is possible to prevent that a frame body of the magnification converting lens is displayed in the monitor.
