Abstract: Bis(cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl) phthalate includes stereoisomers represented by following Formulae (1), (2) and (3) and satisfies the following conditions: wherein a, b and c are mole percentages of the stereoisomers represented by Formulae (1), (2) and (3), respectively. The bis(cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl) phthalate can be obtained by allowing cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanol to react with phthalic acid or its reactive derivative and purifying the resulting mixture of stereoisomers, for example, by crystallization. The bis(cis-3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl) phthalate is useful for the preparation of a heat-sensitive tacky adhesive having excellent adhesive strength and blocking resistance.

Abstract: A lens-fitted film unit includes: a main body; a photographic lens provided in the main body, having an aperture value; an aperture provided in the main body; a shutter provided in the main body, having a shutter speed; a photographic film loaded in the main body, having image frames each including an unexposed portion and a pre-exposed portion on which a latent image has been formed; and a masking member for masking the pre-exposed portion of the photographic film when a photographing operation is conducted. The latent image has been formed on the photographic film with a same exposure amount as that obtained when an object to be photographed having a brightness of not less than 10 and not more than 12.5 in terms of light values in which a photographic film whose ISO sensitivity is 100, is exposed to light with an aperture value of the photographic lens set by the aperture and with the shutter speed of the shutter.

Abstract: A photographic device set including: a photographic device having a shutter device, a camera lens, a diaphragm and a photographing operation section; a photographic film built in the photographic device in advance; and a packing material with which the photographic device is packed. In the photographic device set, the packing material has a transparent film and is provided with opaque portions at an area corresponding to the photographing operation section or to the camera lens of the photographic device.

Abstract: A zoom camera being capable of changing a distance measuring direction to measure an object distance, and more particularly a camera which indicates the distance measuring direction overlapped on an object image in a view finder display. An object image is displayed in a finder display through an optical system, thereby the magnification of the object image in the view finder changes in accordance with a zooming of the camera. An indicator array is arranged on the view finder display, and the distance measuring direction is indicated by an activation of an indicator element of the indicator array located at a corresponding position to an object position in the distance measuring direction.

Abstract: A variable focus camera includes a photographing lens constituted by at least two components, and changes the position of a magnification adjusting lens of a finder by a cam barrel of the photographing lens. In this camera, at least two magnification correction cams for extending the components of the photographing lens and having a focal-point correction function are formed on the cam barrel, and a magnification of the photographing lens is caused to coincide with a magnification of the finder by the magnification correction cams.

Abstract: A motor driven camera in which a reversible motor is used to wind and rewind the film, and to perform some reciprocative camera function. The camera is constructed so that film will be wound in the forward direction of the motor. The reciprocative camera function is performed by reversing the direction of the motor. An additional shifting step is necessary to rewind the film, the film being rewound when the motor is in the reverse mode and the shifting step is completed. Examples of reciprocative camera functions include lens focus, and retracting a flash or lens cover.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a camera that is capable of automatically operating the wind/rewind of film and the lens movement required for the focal length change or collapse of the taking lens thereof.
