Abstract

The selection of the macro-photographic mode or the standard photographic mode can be accomplished only by shifting a single optical element; that is, a reflecting mirror mounted in a mirror box. The camera has such a superior feature that the camera is very simple in construction yet capable of highly effective results in practice while in the case of macro-photography, a specimen can be clearly viewed and sharply focused.
