PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a camera providing image cropping and its photographing method. SOLUTION: The camera 10 includes a body and capture devices 16, 18 installed in the body. The capture device 18 has an imager 24 and a storage medium operatively connected to the imager and selectively captures an electronic image of a scene. A viewfinder optical system 56 is aligned with the capture device and defines a viewfinder light path. A cropper 130 is arranged in the body, having a pair of vanes. The vanes can be moved selectively to each other between a first position and a second position and through a continuous sequence of intermediate positions between the first position and the second position. The vanes delimits a rectangular window cross section in the viewfinder light path in each of the positions. A controller is operatively connected to the capture device and the cropper 130, cropping the electronic image to match the window. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
