ABSTRACT:
A viewfinder for a camera includes a near-subject frame visible in the finder field to frame subjects closer to the camera than a predetermined distance, e.g., four feet, and a normal frame visible in the finder field to frame subjects beyond that distance. The near-subject frame defines a subject-field that is offset from the subject-field defined by the normal frame to correct for the parallax error at close distances. A focus-setting device for the camera lens has a near-subject setting for close-up subjects and a distant-subject setting for other subjects. When the focus-setting device is set to its distant-subject setting, for use with the normal frame, the near-subject frame is not visible. This prevents the near-subject frame from being confused with the normal frame. The near-subject frame is only made visible in response to the focus-setting device being set to its near-subject setting. Making the near-subject frame visible alerts the photographer to use that frame instead of the normal frame.
