Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic image forming system of a semispherical visual field including a camera receiving the light of the optical image of the semispherical visual field and producing output data corresponding to the optical image. SOLUTION: An optical assembly forming the image covering the whole of the semispherical visual field corresponding to an optical path leading to an imaging element or a photographic film is included in the camera. The optical assembly is provided with a lens component selectively emphasizing the peripheral contents of the semispherical visual field. An electronic imaging element or a film/digital data conversion system arranged in the camera provides an input image memory or an electronic storage device with a digital output signal. A conversion processor accesses the digital output signal selectively from the input image memory and processes according to a user definition reference. Then, the processed signal is stored in an output image memory. The signal in the output image memory is then displayed according to the user definition reference.
