Camera for selectively inputting operating parameters and method

摘要

A camera includes a control unit and display assembly permitting the selective input of operating parameters by a user. A selection component permits the selective input of operating parameters displayed on a display device. Different operating parameters are displayed based upon the selected operating mode. In a first operating mode, the control unit displays a designated number of preset parameters on the display device and only permits the user to select from these designated preset parameters. In a second operating mode, the control unit permits the user to select from a plurality of parameters displayed on said display device. In addition, the control unit permits the user to display additional parameters on the display device. In the method for selectively inputting operating parameters into a camera, an operating mode for the camera is selected. The operating parameters are displayed on a display device based upon the selected operating mode. The operating parameters are then selected and displayed on the display device.
