ABSTRACT:
A needle-type display device for displaying photographic data in a camera, the display device including a display having indicating needles which move directly from displaying presently displayed values to displaying new values without temporarily returning to an origin position. The display device includes a half-press switch having first and second positions, and a rangefinder and photometric unit which operate when the half-press switch is in the first position. The display displays photographic data measured by the range finder and photometric unit according to an amount of movement from an origin position by the respective indicating needles. When the half-press switch switches to the second position, a hold command unit operates to hold the respective indicating needles for a predetermined period of time at the display position displaying the measured amount. When a new measurement is performed by the rangefinder or photometric unit during the hold period, an update command unit moves the indicating needles directly from their present positions to new positions without returning to their origins. By the indicating needles moving directly to new display positions, the time required for the display needles to move is reduced, and a quick display response to measured photographic data is possible.
