ABSTRACT:
A stereo camera allows a rapid photographing and stereo effect correcting function to be compatible by providing a mechanism for automatically adjusting a distance between optical axes of photographing lenses and a manual adjusting mechanism. Lens shifting cams are provided symmetrically at a base frame of the stereo camera, and urged by a spring so that the inner surfaces of the lens shifting cams are pushed upon the right and left lens boards independent from each other. The lens shift cams are formed to automatically focus the photographing ranges of the right and left photographing lenses of a focal distance irrespective of the feeding amounts of the photographing lenses, and the distance between the optical axes are automatically adjusted being interlocked to the focal adjustment. If the subjects of remote range and close range are mixed, the manual adjusting lens shift knob is operated to move the lens boards in approaching direction by lens shifters to be finely adjusted to the optimum distance between the optical axes.
