ABSTRACT:
A camera of the multi-program mode type wherein a suitable program mode is selected properly in accordance with given conditions of the camera. The camera comprises a display device which displays a program mode selected by a manually operable means. When a normal program mode is selected, a microcomputer receives focal length information of an interchangeable lens mounted on the camera and automatically selects one of program lines provided for the normal program mode in accordance with the received information. Meanwhile, the microcomputer enables selection of a macro photographing program mode only when focus adjusting of the interchangeable lens is within a macro range.
