Abstract

A camera and an image output apparatus is capable of trimmed photographing. The camera is provided with detection means for detecting parallax information for specifying the difference between the photographing field and the viewing finder field based on the positional relationship between the photographing lens and the viewing finder, focal length of the photographing lens and object distance; and recording means for recording the parallax information detected by the detection means. The image output apparatus is provided with detection means for detecting the parallax information attached to the image information obtained in the above-mentioned camera; and means for printing or reproducing, on a cathode ray tube, the photographed image with trimming, corresponding to the finder viewing frame, according to the parallax information detected by the detection means.
