Provided are an imaging device, a finder device, a method of controlling an imaging device, a method of controlling a finder device, a control program for an imaging device, and a control program for a finder device capable of preventing burn-in of a display device that displays display information on an optical image of a subject observed through an optical finder in a superimposed manner, and preventing a relative positional relationship between a position of the display information displayed on the display device and a range, in which imaging is actually performed, from being changed.
Display information, such as a visual-field frame, displayed at a prescribed position of an OLED display (218) is moved on the OLED display (218), and burn-in of the OLED display (218) is prevented. An imaging range of an image sensor (201) is moved corresponding to movement of the display information, and a relative positional relationship between a position of the display information displayed on the optical image of the subject observed through the optical finder in a superimposed manner and a range to be actually imaged is prevented from being changed.
