CONSTITUTION:An AF lock operation forbearing means inhibiting the operation of an AF lock means till a focusing state is obtained, when an operating member SWAFL is operated during the operation of an automatic focusing device and still in a nonfocusing state, is provided. Therefore, when the photographing optical system is not in the focusing state, even if a camera user carries out the AF lock operation, the AF lock is not carried out.
