Abstract
A camera capable of remote-control operations comprises a receiver for receiving a remote-control signal and a magnification alterer for altering a magnification optical system into a predetermined magnification in response to receipt by the receiver of the remote-control signal. The alterer alters the magnification state of the magnification optical system until the optical system reaches the predetermined magnification state beyond a magnification state accessible by the optical system at the time at which the receiver stops receiving the remote-control signal.
