Abstract
A camera with laser view framing function includes a housing that is provided with a laser generated near a lens of the camera. The laser generator has a beam emitting hole that is oriented substantially the same direction as the lens. The housing is formed with a window on a wall that corresponds to the beam emitting hole. A shade having a frame profile through hole is insertably provided in the window. A switch key for actuating the laser generating is projectingly provided on the housing. When the switch key is pressed, the laser generator is actuated to emit a laser beam, which passes through the frame profile through hole of the shade to form a profile light frame framing an area of which a user is taking a picture.
