  • Patent number: 6091902
    Abstract: A zoom camera with a pseudo zooming function for assigning a frame a pseudo zoom ratio by which a printing area and a print magnification of the frame are modified to obtain a photo print that looks like being photographed at a virtual focal length that is equal to a multiplication product of the pseudo zoom ratio and an actual focal length of a taking lens used for photographing the frame. A virtual focal length is determined in accordance with operating direction and amount of a manual zooming operation member. A viewfinder is controlled in correspondence with the virtual focal length, to show a photographic field to be contained in a photo print as photographed at the virtual focal length.
