To provide a camera with photographic illumination for a state display unit, in which the influence of reflected light from a photographic object can be reduced in compact structure when a shadow is eliminated by illuminating an image pickup object.

This camera with photographic illumination for a state display unit is constituted so that the reflected light from the state display unit is reflected toward the outside of the camera 52 when the state display unit is irradiated with illuminating light by an illuminating lamp 47 by making the optical axis direction of the camera 52 different from the irradiating direction of the lamp 47.
