Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a framing feature for cropping photographs. According to one embodiment, the framing feature is associated with a camera. The camera has a body including a lens, a viewfinder positioned within the body, and a framing structure. The framing structure includes a transparent member having a set of one or more framing outlines provided thereon, and the framing structure is coupled to the body such that one or more framing outlines are positionable over the viewfinder.

A dual-mode display system, for applications such as viewfinders/displays in a digital still camera or video camcorder, may include a single spatial light modulator microdisplay that can be used both to provide a virtual image at a viewing location, such as near-eye viewing port, and to provide a real image that can be projected onto a surface such as a projection screen. The projection screen may be on an exterior surface of the camera, it may be extendable from the device such as with a camcorder, or it may be an external screen such as a on a wall, desk, piece of paper, or a traditional projection screen. The optical paths for the near-eye and projection modes may be entirely different, with only the SLM in common, or they may be largely or entirely common paths. Different light sources may be used for the two modes, or it may be the same light source. The display system may switch between the two modes by selecting one of two different light sources or by moving an optical element, such as a lens or reflective surface.

A viewfinder, particularly useful in a camera, is lensless but which provides a useful reticle to aid the user to properly frame the desired scene. A camera body includes a viewfinder front wall opening. Surrounding the front wall opening, on its interior surface is a concave mirror with its focus on a reticle. The reticle on an internal surface of the camera body is located at the interior face of the eyepiece opening region of the viewfinder. Incoming light at the front opening illuminates the reticle and its image is reflected by the concave mirror surface to the user's eye. In one embodiment, the front opening of the camera is a single opening larger than the rear or eyepiece opening, and in another embodiment, the front opening constitutes a series of small holes in the front wall of the camera with the surface between the holes reflectorized and acting as the concave mirror. In another embodiment also adapted particularly for zoom lens cameras, a reticle mask is included within the camera body and is adjustable with the zoom position of the taking lens to change the size of the reticle. This feature includes a pair of movable L-shaped masks, each including an L-shaped reticle and which combine to produce a variable size rectangular reticle.

A prism is provided having a surface on which light is made incident, surfaces at which light is reflected and a surface from which light is emitted. The prism includes an uneven surface portion provided on at least one of the incident, reflecting or emitting surfaces and located outside a light transmission area through which effective light of an associated optical system, in which the prism is to be incorporated, can be transmitted. The disclosure is also directed to a real image type view finder having such a prism.

A camera comprising a housing a having a top and a bottom, and a support for one's forearm and/or wrist, is characterized in that the bottom of the housing is concave to define a rounded inward hollow at a location directly beneath the top of the housing for receiving one's forearm and/or wrist along the bottom of the housing, whereby the support is built into the housing.

A fuel metering control system for an internal combustion engine including a feedback loop having an adaptive controller and an adaptation mechanism that estimates controller parameters .theta.. The adaptive controller corrects the quantity of fuel injection to bring a controlled variable obtained at least based on an output of said air/fuel ratio sensor, to a desired value. The convergence speed of the controller parameters is determined by a gain matrix that has non-diagonal and diagonal element. The system is configured that the controller parameters are determined without calculating the non-diagonal elements of the gain matrix, or without calculating using the non-diagonal elements of the gain matrix in the determination, decreasing calculation volume.

A camera is provided with a front flip-up flash unit and a rear flip-up flash retainer having front and rear viewfinder openings that are aligned to view a subject to be photographed when the flash unit and the flash retainer are flipped up. If the flash unit is folded down for storage, the flash retainer is folded over the flash unit to secure the flash unit in place.

A viewfinder illumination scale adjusting mechanism including a sliding block disposed at one side of the viewfinder of a camera, a first cover board and a second cover board vertically spaced by the viewfinder and defining a respective illumination window of a different size, and a switching lever moved to switch on/off the electric circuit of the camera, wherein when the sliding block is shifted upwards, the switching lever is moved to switch on the electric circuit of the camera, and the first cover board is moved to coincide its illumination window with the viewfinder; when the sliding block is shifted downwards, the switching lever is moved to switch off the electric circuit of the camera, and the second cover board is moved to coincide its illumination window with the view finder; when the sliding block is shifted to the middle position, the two cover boards are turned away from the viewfinder, and the switching lever is forced to switch off the electric circuit.
