Abstract: A disclosed photographing apparatus has a LCD display, a select member, and a controller. The display displays information about a photographic condition, in arbitrary display form using a dot-matrix. The select member selects one display mode among a plurality of display modes. In each mode of the plurality of display modes, display forms are different to each other, standard information required for photographing is displayed common to every display mode, and at least one information inherent to each display mode is displayed. The controller controls the display to display the display mode selected by the selector, and at a time of starting the camera, to display a display mode which has been displayed when the camera was previously switched off.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of nucleic acid synthesis capable of directly amplifying a gene of interest in a salivary sample without purifying DNAs from the sample.According to the present invention, in a method of nucleic acid synthesis by mixing a salivary sample itself and a gene amplification reaction solution, and then subjecting them to an amplification reaction, the salivary sample is heat-treated or treated with a saccharide-degrading enzyme before the reaction. For example, a salivary sample was heat-treated at 0-40.degree. C. for 1 hour, subsequently added directly into a PCR reaction solution, and then subjected to a PCR. The result demonstrates that, as shown in FIG. 3, the amount of the PCR product increased according as the heat-treatment temperature was elevated, and as a consequence, the PCR product sufficient to be detected in the electrophoresis was produced in each of all cases using different amounts of saliva, by heat-treating the sample at 30.degree. C. or above.
