ABSTRACT:
A camera comprises: a photographing lens; a viewfinder lens lying behind the photographing lens so that an object to be photographed can be viewed; a first reflector mirror capable of being displaced between a first position, at which the first reflector mirror intervenes between the photographing lens and viewfinder lens so that light emanating from the photographing lens is reflected horizontally substantially at 90.degree., and a second position at which the first reflector mirror has retracted from between the photographing lens and viewfinder lens; a second reflector mirror lying by the side of the first reflector mirror so that the light emanated from the photographing lens and reflected from the first reflector mirror is reflected vertically substantially at 90.degree.; an image forming plane lying below the second reflector mirror so that the light emanated from the photographing lens and reflected from the second reflector mirror forms an image thereon; and an aperture for determining a picture size that defines a zone to be exposed of film lying on the image forming plane.
