Framing masks for a camera

摘要

A camera includes an enclosure having a front surface for supporting an optical section relative to an optical axis intersecting an image receiver supported relative to a back surface, and a lens positioned in the optical axis on the front surface of the camera and projecting a field of view forwardly of the camera. A plurality of thin elements are arrayed on the front surface of the camera around the lens in general correspondence with the field of view. Framing accuracy is improved for self portraits and the like by canting each element outwardly from the optical axis at such an angle that an inside surface of every element is visible to a subject positioned within the field of view of the lens.
