The present invention provides a camera enabling selection of a normal photography mode in which an object image formed by a lens array is printed as it is or in a proportional size, or a trimming photography mode in which part of the image alone is enlarged and printed. The camera includes masks formed with translucent members and used to confirm the object range for the trimming photography mode in the view finder, and a device for positioning the masks in the view finder for trimming photography.
