ABSTRACT:
A camera is capable of switching normal photographing mode and panoramic photographing mode to each other and has a view finder for checking a photographing range. The view finder includes a visual frame display device, a device for varying magnification of the view finder, a control device. The visual frame display device switches a visual frame for displaying the normal photographing mode and a visual frame for displaying the panoramic photographing mode. The control device switches the visual frame display device from the visual frame for displaying the normal photographing mode to the visual frame for displaying the panoramic photographing mode and allows the magnification varying device to increase the magnification of the view finder. Instead of the control device, in switching the normal photographing mode to the panoramic photographing mode, the control device also instructs the magnification varying device to vary the magnification of the view finder so that either an angle of view corresponding to a horizontal direction or in a vertical direction in the panoramic photographing mode is displayed in the visual frame for displaying the normal photographing mode and then, instructs the visual frame display device to switch the visual frame for displaying the normal photographing mode to the visual frame for displaying the panoramic photographing mode, and the view finder magnification varying device to vary the magnification of the view finder.
