Abstract: In a recording-and-reproducing apparatus which has data setting arrangement for setting a data signal to be recorded on a recording medium by multiplexing the data together with a recording video signal and is arranged to be capable of reproducing the video signal and the data signal from the recording medium, a monitor is arranged to display the video signal and the data signal; and, during recording or reproduction, the data signal set by the data setting arrangement for recording and the data signal reproduced are arranged to be displayed on the monitor in different manners from each other, so that a data setting process for recording and a data reproducing process can be readily distinguished from each other.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus comprising:a mounting plate of an image to be read; a supporting device coupled with the mounting plate; a converter, supported by the supporting device, for converting the image to an electric signal; and a monitor display unit, supported by the supporting device, for displaying on the basis of the electric signal.

Abstract: A multi-program control camera permitting selection of various exposure control modes is provided with a display arrangement to indicate, by pictographs and/or letters, the effects of a picture image obtainable by selection of the exposure control modes; and to automatically shift a selected exposure control mode to another mode when the effect of the picture image expected is difficult to obtain by the mode selected on the basis of at least one of the information values including the maximum aperture value of a lens, the minimum aperture value thereof, a fixed aperture, a focal length and the brightness of an object to be photographed.

Abstract: The disclosed invention is a multi-mode automatic exposure control camera which operates with selection of various image effects and enables even the beginner to make photographs with less susceptibility to failure. Upon consideration of different image effects, a plurality of combinations of shutter time and aperture value are provided for one mode, and in the usual mode selection, a more frequently used combination is made preferentially selectable to provide an improved operation.

Abstract: A multi-mode automatic exposure control camera capable of permitting selective switch-over among various exposure control modes is provided with a device which displays each selected exposure mode in the form of a pictograph or the like representing a picture effect obtainable from the selected mode and which also gives a warning through the medium of the displayed pictograph or the like for the object to be photographed when the effect expected from the selected exposure control mode is difficult to obtain.

Abstract: The disclosed automatic exposure control camera is capable of operating in various exposure modes. In the exposure mode control device, a number of selectable switches select one of a number of imaging effects. An exposure mode selector arrangement holds a signal corresponding to which of the switches is operated until the exposure is terminated. An exposure controller controls exposures in the different exposure modes and selects an exposure mode based on the signal from the exposure selector. Each of the switches has a pictograph as an indication of the imaging effect being selected by that switch. According to an embodiment of the invention, an indicator in the camera displays a pictograph representing the imaging effect to be obtained in the selected exposure mode on the basis of the signal from the exposure mode selector.

Abstract: The disclosed camera permits selection of one exposure control mode along one program line based on brightness and at least another control mode along another program line. An operation control selects the one mode when self-timer photography is not used, and the other mode for self-timer photography. The self-timer exposure control is performed at an aperture value or a shutter time value particularly suitable for self-timer photography.

Abstract: A camera constructed from at least three different units or parts arranged in combination, with the units being releasably attached to each other by respective individual coupling devices which are made with a basically similar construction and which are operated to lock the individual camera parts together and to unlock the connection therebetween upon release actuation of the coupling devices.
