ABSTRACT:
A camera in which a plurality of photographic data are input by manual key operations is made easily operable with less possibility of erroneous data input by inadvertent key operations. The data to be input are classified into first and second groups in accordance with the relevancy of the respective data or the frequency of changing of the respective data during photographing operations. In one embodiment, first and second photographic data setting sections are separately provided at different positions and input keys included in the first data setting section are used for the input of the first group data whereas input keys included in the second data setting section are used for the input of the second group data. In another embodiment, input keys common to the first and second group data setting are included in a single photographic data setting section. The data input by the input keys are those of the first group with a setting data-indicating plate being at a closed position but changed-over to those of the second group with the setting data-indicating plate being moved to an opened position. A flat-type indication device for indication of the input data is provided on a flat oblique surface of the camera descending from the front to the rear of the camera to facilitate its observation.
