Abstract
A portrait camera is intended to be used for picture-taking in a horizontal orientation and in a vertical orientation. When the camera is oriented horizontally, two head-finder circles or the like are visible in the field of view of the viewfinder to frame the respective heads of two people. When the camera is oriented vertically, only one of the head-finder circles is visible in the field of view of the viewfinder to frame the head of one person. Thus, two people are to be photographed when the camera is oriented horizontally, but only one person is to be photographed when the camera is oriented vertically.
