In a vari-focal camera which has a photo-taking optical system including a main lens system and an auxiliary lens system and is arranged to be shiftable between at least two different focal lengths by moving the photo-taking optical system back and forth on a photo-taking optical axis in such a way as to cause the auxiliary lens system to move onto and out of the optical axis, a guide bar is arranged to allow a lens barrel unit which includes the photo-taking optical system, a shutter and a photo-taking lens focusing device to straightly move. The guide bar is fittingly engaged with a member secured to a camera body. The camera is further provided with an adjusting member for focusing the photo-taking optical system in each of preset positions in which the photo-taking lens has the different focal lengths.
