Abstract

A camera for stereoscopic photography functionable both in a stereoscopic mode and in a normal mode comprises a camera body, a plurality of lenses provided on the front face of the camera body and arranged horizontally in a line, a plurality of film chambers provided inside of the camera body and each corresponding to each of the plurality of lenses, a plurality of partition members each provided between two adjacent ones of the plurality of film chambers and defining the width in the horizontal direction of each of the plurality of film surfaces, and a changeover mechanism for changing over from a stereoscopic mode to a normal mode and vice versa. One the plurality of lenses is used for both the stereoscopic mode and the normal mode. Two of the partition members provided on both sides of the film chamber provided corresponding to this lens for both-mode purpose are movable in order to change the transverse width of a film surface used for both-mode purpose. The transverse widths of the plurality of the film chambers become equal to each other in the stereoscopic mode. In the normal mode, the two partition members move such that the film surface for both-mode purpose becomes wider and, upon pressing of a shutter button, only an image-forming light from the lens for both-mode purpose is incident.
