Abstract
A camera has a wide-angle taking lens and a telephoto taking lens for forming simultaneous wide-angle and telephoto images of the same subject, to make wide-angle and telephoto simultaneous exposures on a single frame of film. A wide-angle/telephoto selection indicator is supported for movement between the taking lenses and the frame of film to prevent either the wide-angle or telephoto image from being fully exposed on the frame of film. Thus, one of the simultaneous exposures is provided with an indication that it is not to be printed as a picture.
Claims9
A camera comprising a plurality of taking lenses for forming simultaneous images of the same subject that cover different areas of the subject, is characterized in that:
- a selection indicator for indicating that only one of the areas of the subject is to be included in a picture, is supported for movement with respect to said lenses to allow only one of the images to be fully exposed on film, whereby the one image that is fully exposed on film is of the area of the subject to be included in the picture.
A camera comprising a plurality of taking lens for forming simultaneous images of the same subject that cover different areas of the subject, is characterized in that:
- selection indicator means for indicating that only one of the areas of the subject is to be included in a picture.
A camera comprising a wide-angle taking lens and a telephoto taking lens for forming simultaneous wide-angle and telephoto images of the same subject to make wide-angle and telephoto simultaneous exposures on a single frame of film, is characterized in that:
- a wide-angle and telephoto selection indicator is supported for movement between said taking lenses and the frame of film to prevent either the wide-angle or telephoto image from being fully exposed on the frame of film, whereby one of the simultaneous exposures is provided with an indication that it is not to be printed as a picture.
A camera comprising a wide-angle taking lens and a telephoto taking lens for forming simultaneous wide-angle and telephoto images of the same subject to make wide-angle and telephoto simultaneous exposures on a single frame of film, is characterized in that:
- means for preventing either the wide-angle or telephoto image from being fully exposed on the frame of film, whereby one of the simultaneous exposures is provided with an indication that it is not to be printed as a picture.
A method in a camera, comprising the steps:
- making simultaneous exposures of the same subject that cover different areas of the subject;
- and
- indicating which one of the exposures of the same subject is to be used to print a picture.
