Abstract

A photographic camera which can be selectively switched between various photographing modes includes a taking lens assembly which provides first and second focal lengths, a viewfinder assembly including first and second lens elements for providing first and second views of a subject to be photographed corresponding to the first and second focal lengths, respectively and an electronic flash assembly including first and second flash lenses for providing first and second angles of illumination corresponding to the first and second focal lengths, respectively. A mechanism connects the taking lens, the viewfinder assembly and the electronic flash assembly to provide for alternatively selecting the first focal length, the first view and the first angle of illumination or the second focal length, the second view and the second angle of illumination substantially concurrently.
