Abstract: An optical fiber protective unit includes: a reticulated tube; and a tubular member that is inserted through the reticulated tube and that is configured to accommodate a plurality of optical fibers. The reticulated tube is disposed on an outer periphery of the tubular member in a state folded in a longitudinal direction. Both end parts of the reticulated tube are located on the outer periphery of the tubular member.

Abstract: A photographic camera having also a function of panoramic photographing includes a panorama switch which is turned ON to change over the mode of photographing to the mode of panoramic photographing and to activate a drive motor to forcibly move an objective along the optical axis to the minimum focal distance position. A slidably movable knob member serving for switching of the photographing mode is provided laterally of a viewfinder, and a photographing mode display appears on the external surface of the camera as the knob is slidably moved to select the mode of panoramic photographing. When the mode of panoramic photographing is selected and the panorama switch is turned ON, a liquid crystal display unit adapted to display various data including a film frame count displays the camera mode of panoramic photographing. A sighting frame for normal photographing and a sighting frame for panoramic photographing are both arranged within the viewfinder frame.
