Camera with display device

摘要

A camera comprises a main switch, a battery, a battery checking circuit, a display device, a timer and a controller. The camera can be operative by the turn ON of the main switch and can not be operative by the turn OFF of the main switch. The battery supplies an electrical power to circuits in the camera. The battery checking circuit checks a state of the battery. The timer counts a predetermined period of time in response to the turn ON of the main switch. The controller controls the display device based on a result of the battery checking circuit to display the state of the battery during the predetermined period of time and turning off a display of the display device if the state of the battery is better for the camera than a predetermined state after a lapse of the predetermined period of time. Thereby, it is easy to see the other display of the camera in the display device.
