Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] 'Field of Application) The present invention relates to a camera that is capable of taking pseudo-panoramic photos that closely resemble panoramic photos in addition to taking normal screen-sized photos. be.

E. Prior Art] Normally, when taking panoramic photos, cameras exclusively designed for panoramic photos have traditionally been used, but recently so-called disposable cameras with built-in film have been developed that can take photos that closely resemble panoramic photos. A similar method was devised and is now commercially available.

[Problem to be solved by the invention] By the way, cameras exclusively used for panoramic photography, which have traditionally been used exclusively, have a complicated structure and require specialized knowledge and skill to handle, so they are only produced in small quantities. ,
The price was also expensive.

In addition, disposable cameras that have recently become available on the market and are capable of taking photos that closely resemble panoramic photos have the disadvantage that, because they are disposable cameras, the image quality deteriorates unless the weather is clear, and the image quality also deteriorates when enlarged. .

Moreover, both the panoramic camera and the disposable camera mentioned above have the drawback of not being able to take pictures of a normal screen size.

The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and
The purpose is to provide a camera that is capable of taking pseudo-panoramic photos in addition to normal screen zoom photos.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a camera capable of taking pseudo-panoramic photos according to the present invention is installed in the camera body, and allows normal screen size photography light to pass through. An edge parallel to one of the opposing frame edges for forming the aperture is provided near the aperture for forming the aperture, and an operating member allows the normal screen size to be projected into the optical path of the shadow light. The present invention is characterized in that a photographing mode switching member is provided for changing the normal screen size photographing light into PT length pseudo panoramic photographing light.

(Function) The present invention provides a camera capable of taking panoramic photographs,
Since it is configured as described above, in the normal screen size photography mode, when the operating member is operated to advance the photography mode switching member into the optical path of the light for normal screen size photography, the normal screen size photography mode is activated. The light for taking pictures of the screen size becomes the light for taking horizontally elongated pseudo-panoramic pictures, and the mode becomes a pseudo-panoramic picture taking mode.

Next, in the pseudo panoramic photo shooting mode, when the operating member is operated to move the shooting mode switching member out of the optical path of the light for normal screen size photography, the light for pseudo panoramic photography is changed to the normal screen size photo. It becomes a light for photography,
It becomes normal screen size photo shooting mode.
