Electronic still camera having an automatic iris control with manual override.

摘要

The electronic still camera is designed to improve ease of operation by reconciling the operability in the shutter speed priority mode and the precision in the manual mode. This is achieved by an alternation means (33,39) for alternating between said first mode and said second mode coupled with a shutter speed selection means (32) for selecting said shutter speed, and a shutter speed setting means (38) for setting the shutter speed selectable by means of said shutter speed selection means in said first mode larger than the shutter speed selectable in said second mode. Because the selectable shutter speeds in the manual mode are set more precisely than in the shutter speed priority mode, the shutter speeds corresponding to the characteristic of each mode can be set.
