Image magnification control device for a camera

摘要

An image magnification control device for a camera. Control focal length required to maintain an image magnification constant is computed based upon defocus information detected by analyzing a light that passes through a photographic lens. In case a focal length of the photographic lens moves out of a range wherein the set image magnification can be obtained, various options, such as a shutter-release lock operation, can be executed depending upon the chosen design of the camera.
