Abstract

A shake detecting section for detecting a camera shake, a prevention mode selecting section for selecting a shake prevention mode, and a print area setting portion for setting a print area in a trimming photographic operation are connected to a control section. In addition, a print area display section for displaying the print area set by the print area setting section in the finder of a camera, a focal length information storage section for storing the focal length information of a photographic lens, and a trimming mode selecting section for selecting a trimming mode are connected to the control section. When the trimming mode is selected by the trimming mode selecting section, the hand shake prevention mode is automatically selected, thereby easily preventing a deterioration in image quality due to a hand shake.
