ABSTRACT:
In a video system having a video camera unit for converting an image to electrical signals and a video recorder unit for recording the video signals from the video camera unit on a recording medium and reproducing the video signals recorded on the recording medium, a mode of the system is selectively set to a first mode in which the video recorder unit can record the video signals from the video camera unit on the recording medium or a second mode in which the video recorder unit can reproduce the video signals recorded on the recording medium, and a mode display displays different colors according to the set mode. An operation key performs a first function for controlling operations of the video camera unit in the first mode and a second function for controlling operations of the video recorder unit in the second mode. A display on a function display portion of the camera disposed adjacent to the operation key has a color corresponding to a display color of the mode display. As a result, it is possible to realize many functions using a small number of operation keys, and to reduce incorrect operations in operating the operation keys.
