ABSTRACT:
An information setting and displaying device for a camera has a rotary dial mounted on a camera body to be rotatable stepwise. A display member is provided adjacent the rotary dial, and includes at least a pair of display sub-areas arranged along the direction in which the rotary dial rotates. An information setting mechanism sets information by operating said rotary dial. A display control mechanism displays current set information in one of the display sub-areas and displays a proposed information, to be set as the rotary dial rotates in a direction from one of the display sub-area toward the other display sub-area by at least one step. The proposed information is displayed in the other display sub-area. The information includes at least one of a shutter speed, a diaphragm stop, and an exposure compensation value.
