ABSTRACT:
A camera for photography with different angles of view has a finder unit with a conversion lens that retracts into a space produced when a strobe unit pops up, in one embodiment. In another embodiment, the strobe unit is elongated and a finder converter lens moves along a path perpendicular to the length of the strobe unit. In a further embodiment, if a focal length of a zoom lens, corresponding to a desired angle of view, is outside of a range of settable focal lengths, a trimming photographing mode is selected. A zoom finder motor is provided separately from a zoom lens motor. In another embodiment, forward rotation of a single motor drives a finder converting lens, and reverse rotation of the motor drives an illumination angle altering member of a strobe unit. Spot flash operation of the strobe unit may be selected.
