ABSTRACT:
A dial rotatably mounted on a camera is provided with at least two kinds of information, corresponding to variable settings, functions, or modes. The dial may be rotated to set one of the kinds of information at a time, when an index mark points to symbols on the dial representative of individual settings or of a setting change mode to be performed in combination with other operating members provided to the camera. An LCD provided on the camera displays changes in the information in response to the rotation of the dial. The dial can have the kinds of information provided to the dial in adjacent angular ranges, or alternatively in concentric form, the kinds of information switchable by an additional member.
