Abstract: A camcorder integrally incorporating a still camera and using an automatic focusing device of the still camera or the camcorder is provided. A still camera main body and an optical viewfinder of the still camera are installed at the right front side of the main body of a camcorder, and a still camera lens, an infrared emitting element for measuring distance, an infrared receiving element for measuring distance, a flash and the like are installed at the main body of the still camera. Therefore, when a focus of an object is difficult to control, e.g., when the object is in the dark or when there is no contrast between the object and the background, the focusing direction of the camcorder lens is moved using the data of distance measured by a distance measuring device adopting an infrared mode installed in the still camera, so that a picture photographed by an instant camera function or a frash recording function can be stored in the picture memory of the camcorder.
