An optical apparatus is provided with storage means (4) for storing captured images taken beforehand within a range of directional variability of an optical imaging system (1). The direction of the optical imaging system is detected and an image obtained in the detected direction is read from the storage means (4) and displayed in place of an image actually being taken by the optical imaging system (1). When the scene desired to be viewed is not clearly visible or hard to find owing to cloudiness or the like, the user can view a corresponding simulated scene (51) and, based on the simulated scene, can quickly find and view the actual scene. The real or simulated scene can be displayed for a predetermined period of time in response to insertion of a coin (8). <IMAGE> |
