ABSTRACT:
A camera has a mode changeover device which covers parts of a mode display device while revealing others when a photographing mode is selected by the operator. One of a masking member or the mode display device moves relative to the other when a selection switch is operated, thus revealing a portion of the mode display device corresponding to the selected mode. Furthermore, each revealable portion of the mode display device has displayable submode indicators, allowing the operator to reveal and obscure entire groups of selectable submodes.
