PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make easily obtainable a photographing function equal to close-up photographing without forcing switching operation by shifting a mode to a pseudo variable power photographing mode when a subject exists nearer than a closest photographing distance and equal to or farther than a near point. SOLUTION: When a distance signal inputted from a range-finding device 30 shows a distance equal to or longer than the near point of range-finding being 0.5 m and shorter than the closest photographing distance being 0.8 m, a controller automatically switches the mode to the pseudo variable power photographing mode even in a state where an ordinary photographing mode is selected and further performs close-up photographing processing. When the close-up photographing processing is started, the parallax of a finder is compensated. The controller reads a lens set position S1 at which optimum focusing is obtained to the closest photographing distance being 0.8 m which is the shortest in an ordinary distance range from data in a ROM and inputs it in a focusing lens moving mechanism. The photographing function equal to the close-up photographing is easily obtained without making the camera larger and without causing the rise of cost or forcing troublesome switching operation on a photographer. |
