Claim One:
1. An electronic camera comprising: a zoom changing unit that changes a focal length of a zoom lens; an image-capturing unit that executes photoelectric conversion for a subject image projected by the zoom lens onto an image-capturing area; a range finding unit that detects a distance to a subject; a photographic range setting unit that sets a size of a photographic range at a subject position; a zoom control unit that controls the zoom changing unit based upon the photographic range that has been set and the subject distance so that the subject within the photographic range is projected almost over the entirety of the image-capturing area; and a display monitor at which a subject image based upon image information provided by the image-capturing unit and a range indicator mark indicating a range substantially corresponding to the photographic range superimposed on the subject image are brought up on display when the focal length of the zoom lens is at a maximum and a size of a range of the subject projected almost over the entirety of the image-capturing area is larger than the size of the photographic range.
