The present invention relates to a zoom camera with an automatic power-shutoff function, that includes a motor including a zoom motor, a focal-distance-recognizing unit for outputting a signal corresponding to a focal distance, and a controller for positioning a body tube in a wide-angle position in the case when the camera has not operated during a first stop-time period and shuts off power if the camera has not operated during a second stop-time period, wherein it becomes possible to protect the body tube from an external impact by positioning the body tube in the wide-angle position during the first stop-time period and to take a photograph instantly when he sees a subject by eliminating the time required for turning the power on again.
