Abstract: A camera includes: an image capturing unit that outputs a signal by capturing a subject image via an optical system having a focus adjustment optical system; a detection unit that detects an in-focus position at which the subject image is in focus on the image capturing unit by the optical system based on the signal outputted from the image capturing unit; a control unit that controls a position of the focus adjustment optical system so as to focus continuously upon a specified subject based on the in-focus position detected by the detection unit; and an acquisition unit that acquires information related to at least one of a distance to the specified subject, a size of the specified subject, and the optical system; wherein the control unit controls the position of the focus adjustment optical system based on the information acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract: Prior to a photographing operation, an image blur quantity indicating the extent to which the image becomes blurred during the photographing operation is calculated based upon an image-capturing sensitivity having been set, and a decision is made as to whether or not the image-capturing sensitivity needs to be adjusted based upon the calculated image blur quantity. If it is decided that the sensitivity level needs to be adjusted, the image-capturing sensitivity is adjusted and the photographing operation is executed at the shutter speed calculated based upon the adjusted image-capturing sensitivity.

Abstract: A camera body has grip portions for right-handed users and the left-handed users provided respectively on the right and left sides thereof. A release button to be operated by the right hand is mounted on the side of the grip portion for right-handed users, and a release button to be operated by the left hand is mounted on the side of the grip portion for left-handed users. A ring member is rotatably mounted about a lens-barrel. When the ring member is rotated toward the release button for right-handed users, the release button for right-handed users is enabled, and when it is rotated toward the release button for left-handed users, the release button for left-handed users is enabled.
