Abstract
A camera in which a supertelephotographic lens system and a standard photographic lens system are arranged within a camera body and a standard viewfinder system and a supertelephotographic viewfinder system are so arranged that an operator can view an image of a subject through the same eyepiece window in either the standard or supertelephotographic mode. In addition, a control means is provided for controlling the use of a built-in electronic flash depending upon the selected mode and more particularly for inhibiting the use of the flash in the case of the supertelephotographic mode.
