Photographing apparatus having a trimming photographic mode

摘要

A photographing apparatus having at least two modes, i.e., a first mode for setting and photographing a first photographing area of a photographing area photographed by a photo-taking optical system, and a second mode for setting and photographing a second photographing area smaller than the first photographing area. The apparatus has in succession from the object side a first lens unit and a second lens unit. The first lens unit comprises a positive lens of positive refractive power and a negative lens of negative refractive power, and the second lens unit comprises a positive lens. The spacing between the first lens unit and the second lens unit is varied during the changeover between the first mode and the second mode.
