ABSTRACT:
A user interface illumination system provides a user with information regarding the operation of a digital camera. The system may provide a user interface for informing the user of the ability to select a particular function to be performed on the camera. The user interface has a set of input means disposed on the camera and a set of illumination sources associated with the input means. A controller controls the light-emitting characteristics of the illumination sources based upon current or available operating modes of the electronic device. For example, all input means that are operational in the current operating mode may be illuminated. The illumination may be different for different input means to suggest preferred functions to the user.
