ABSTRACT:
A camera having a device for setting plural modes of camera operation with a single operating member. The camera operates in various modes of operation, including a first focus detection region mode in which focus detection of a photographic lens is performed in a first focus detection region in a photographic picture plane, and a second focus detection region mode in which focus detection of a photographic lens is performed in a second focus detection region which is narrower than the first focus detection region. The camera also operates in plural focusing adjustment modes of operation, including a first drive mode in which further focusing adjustment movement of the lens is inhibited once the photographic lens has been focused, and a second drive mode in which focus adjustment movement continues even after focusing of the photographic lens. The various combinations of the focus detection region modes and the focus adjustment modes are changed by the single operating member.
