A camera for shooting both a demagnified image and a magnifed image. In an
embodiment, the camera includes a housing body containing a CCD, and a
lens barrel. An abutted member having an objective lens therein is
engaged with the lens barrel and a rotatable manually-controlled member
is fitted around that lens barrel. The abutted member moves in the
direction of an optical axis K in response to rotation of the
manually-controlled member. A magnified image and a demagnified image can
be photographed with the manually-controlled member at its advanced and
retracted positions, respectively. The focal point of the objective lens
falls on the center of an end of the abutted member located at the
position for shooting a magnified image. The magnified image is
photographed with the end of the abutted member abutted against the
object.
