FIELD: photographic equipment. SUBSTANCE: automatic photographic camera with zoom lens has unit of interrupters to read information on automatic mode of change of image scale, on mode of gating, sensitivity of film and position of zoom lens. Photographic camera includes microcontroller to minimize changes of color and shadowing of image depending on distance to object, sensitivity of film, ambient illuminance and index of gating brightness during execution of operation of change of image when operational mode is automatic mode of change of image scale. Circuit actuating flash light is used to compensate for lack of sufficient illumination by actuating stroboscope in response to output signal of microcontroller. Circuit actuating motor and circuit actuating shutter for automatic adjustment of focus are actuated to adjust exposure number, to take pictures and to advance film in response to output signal of microcontroller. Invention makes it feasible to perform qualitative, optimum photographing employing change of image scale with the use of complex control over image shadowing and color change that vary in response to operation of change of image scale in correspondence with distance to object, film sensitivity, ambient illuminance and index of gating brightness. EFFECT: improved quality of photographing. 6 cl, 4 dwg
