Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
An information setting apparatus for a camera having a plurality of photographing modes including an aperture priority automatic mode and a shutter speed priority automatic mode, comprising: (a) a first operation member for selection of said modes; (b) a second operation member provided so as to change a preset value in a selected mode; and (c) a circuit coupled to said second operation member so as to provide a signal corresponding to a preset value, said circuit changing the signal in response to the operation of said second operation member, and said circuit changing the signal corresponding to the preset value changed by said second operation member to a specific signal representing a preset value normally used in a selected mode in response to the selection operation by said first operation member.
