ABSTRACT:
A viewfinder in a camera includes visual composition means manually operable to change from a horizontal frame view of a subject to be photographed to a vertical frame view of the subject without having to change the horizontal orientation of the camera to a vertical one. If a vertical format of the subject is selected for picture-taking, the camera is changed to a vertical orientation and the visual composition means is manually released to return automatically to the horizontal frame view of the subject. Since the camera has been changed to a vertical orientation, the horizontal frame view will appear as a vertical one.
