PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To select and set a proper operation mode according to the mounting direction of an electronic camera mounted on a camera stand. SOLUTION: When the electronic camera is mounted on the camera stand, the mounting direction of the electronic camera is determined from whether electric contacts 17 and 28 are made or broken (conductive/non-conductive). When the power source of the electronic camera is turned on, a proper operation mode is selected and set according to the determined mounting direction. Namely, when it is determined that the electronic contacts 17 and 28 are in contact with each other and the camera is mounted having its front opposite the front of the stand, a photography mode is selected and set and when it is determined that the electric contacts 17 and 28 are not in contact and the camera is mounted having the back opposite the stand front, a reproduction mode is selected and set.
