ABSTRACT:
A camera includes a taking lens and at least one light blocking shield which is movable between (1) a light blocking position in which light passing through the taking lens is partially blocked from reaching an image recording surface such that a reduced size image can be recorded on the image recording surface and (2) a normal position in which light passing through the taking lens is not blocked by the light blocking shield such that a normal image can be recorded on the image recording surface. The light blocking shield is magnetically moved between the light blocking and normal positions. The light blocking shield is also magnetically held at the light blocking or normal position.
