Abstract: In a camera having a data setting device capable of setting data peculiar to a film to be imprinted on the film, when a film presence/absence detecting device has detected that a film is loaded in the camera, a data changing control circuit inhibits the data peculiar to a film from being changed. Accordingly, the unintended change of the data peculiar to a film by a photographer can be prevented. Further, when the film presence/absence detecting device has detected that a film is loaded in the camera, the data setting device is made to function for setting data other than the data peculiar to a film. Accordingly, the number of operation members of the camera can be decreased, thereby reducing the size of the camera.

Abstract: A camera includes a recording device which records image information and character information on a recording medium, a receiving device provided for the Global Positioning System, and a setting circuit which sets a language of the character information on the basis of position information obtained by the receiving device.

Abstract: A thermally responsive valve having dual operating temperatures comprises a main body having two openings which are connected through passages in the body to an internal operating space in the body, two dish-shaped bimetal elements disposed in spaced relation to each other within the internal operating space to divide the operating space into three sections, the bimetal elements being movable in response to variations in temperature to engage and disengage respective valve seats to close and open passages between the internal operating space and the openings, and an annular wave-shaped spring arranged between the two bimetal elements holding the elements in said spaced relation.
