These operations will be described more specifically. In the release 2 switch-on process, first, release prohibition determination is made in S21, and if release is prohibited, the process is terminated without releasing the shutter. If release is permitted, the shutter is released based on the shutter opening time calculated in the AE calculation process in S22. Is opened and closed. At this time, if a strobe is required, light is emitted in synchronization with the operation of the shutter.
Next, the lens barrel is returned to the standby position in S23, and the film feeding operation is performed in S24.

The photographing mode is usually a low-luminance automatic light emission mode of multi AF, but the photographing mode switch SW3 is set to one.
Each time the button is pressed, as shown in FIG. 4, the shooting mode is updated from the normal mode in S35 to the single AF mode in S33 and the distant view mode in S34. When the shooting mode switch SW3 is further pressed, the multi-AF in S35 is performed. To the low-luminance automatic light emission mode (normal mode).

When the photographing mode switch SW3 is turned on once, it is determined in S31 whether the previous mode was the normal mode. If the mode was the normal mode, the single AF mode is set in S33.
Indicates that the mode is the F mode. If the previous mode was not the normal mode in S31, it is determined in S32 whether the previous mode was the single AF mode. Single A
If the mode is the F mode, the distant view mode is set in S34, and the LCD 7 indicates that the mode is the distant view mode.

The remote control mode display is turned off, and the remote control I
C11 is set to pause.

In the operation when the release 1 switch is turned on as described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 shows a specific example of the two display settings and the display setting of the strobe LED 13. FIG. 5 shows a process at the time of remote control photographing. In this process, the display setting of the AF LED 12 and the display setting of the strobe LED 13 are included. In the remote control photographing process shown in FIG. 5, first, in S51, a received signal of the remote control IC 11 is decoded, and in S52, it is determined whether the decoded code signal is OK or NG. If NG, the photographing is prohibited and the operation ends. If the code signal is OK, the battery check is performed in S53, and the battery check result is OK in S54.
Determine whether or not. If the result of this determination is that the remaining battery level is not possible, release is prohibited and the operation is terminated.
If the battery check result is OK, a release 1 switch-on process is performed in S55.

The release 1 switch-on process is performed as shown in FIG.
After the release 1 switch-on process, the result of the distance measurement by the distance measuring device is OK in S56.
Determine whether or not. The display method differs depending on whether the distance measurement result is OK or NG. When the result of the distance measurement is OK in S56, it is determined whether or not the strobe is used in S57, and it is determined that the strobe is not used. When it is determined that the strobe is not longer than 5 m in S63, a fast blinking of 8 Hz is displayed in S64. And Even when the strobe is used, if the result of the distance measurement by the distance measuring device is determined to be out of the reach of the strobe light in S58, a fast blinking display of 8 Hz is made in S64. Further, even if it is determined in S58 that the strobe light has not reached, if the distance measurement result by the distance measuring device is 5 m or more in S52, a fast blinking display of 8 Hz is performed in S64. If it is determined that the distance measurement result is out of the strobe light reaching distance, the photographing may be performed as it is. However, after the above-described display is performed by the strobe LED 13, the photographing operation may not be started.

For example, if the distance measurement result is less than 35 cm, the AFLED 12 is set to blink slowly at 2 Hz, if the distance measurement result is NG, fast blinking at 8 Hz is displayed, and if the distance measurement is OK, the display is turned on. More specifically, if the distance measurement result is 3
If the distance is less than 5 cm, the result of the distance measurement is OK, so that it is determined whether or not to use a strobe in S57. If the strobe is not used, it is determined to be 5 m or less in S63, and the blinking cycle is set to 2 Hz in S60. If it is determined in step S57 that the electronic flash is used, it is determined in step S58 whether or not the electronic flash is within the electronic flash reach distance.
It is determined whether the distance is 5 m or less.
At 0, the blink cycle is set to 2 Hz.

Regardless of whether the blinking cycle is 2 Hz or 8 Hz, the blinking display is performed for 2 seconds as shown in S61 and S65, and then, in S62, the release 2 switch-on process shown in FIG. Is performed. The two seconds of the blinking display is a constant time lag from the reception of the remote control signal to the start of the photographing as described above, and the photographer sees the blinking display on the display means to determine the time lag. You can know that.

When the distance measurement result is NG, the photographing may be performed at an arbitrary photographing distance.
After the display, the photographing operation may not be started.
The arbitrary photographing distance is determined according to the focal length of the photographing lens, the subject distance that is considered to be most frequently used, and other conditions. For example, it is conceivable to set the length to 3 to 5 m.

Returning to FIG. 1, after the AFLED display setting (S8), in the case of the strobe use mode, the charging state of the strobe unit 6 is checked in S9, and when the charging level is low, the charging operation is started in S10. enter. During charging, the strobe LED 13 is blinked at a cycle of 2 Hz in S11. After charging is completed, the strobe LED 13 is turned on and displayed when the distance measurement result is shorter than the strobe light reaching limit distance, and 8 Hz when the distance measurement result is farther than the strobe light reaching limit distance. The display will blink quickly. Next, in S12, focus calculation processing for converting the distance data obtained from the AF calculation processing into the number of steps for the focus operation is performed, and in S13, the focus operation is performed based on the number of steps for the focus.

FIG. 7 shows a specific example of the LCD 7 as a display device. FIG. 7A shows a state in which the LCD 7 is entirely displayed, and FIG. 7B shows that the shooting mode is the normal mode (AUT).
7C shows the display of the LCD 7 when the shooting mode is the single AF mode, and FIG. 7D shows the LCD when the shooting mode is the distant view mode.
FIG. 7E shows the display on the LCD 7 in the self / remote control mode. As shown in FIG. 7, the LCD 7 has a clock display, a film counter display,
It is possible to display a shooting mode mark, a battery mark, and the like.

As described above, when the result of the distance measurement by the distance measuring device is NG, shooting is performed at an arbitrary shooting distance. Since the display method by the display means is different depending on the case, the photographer can know whether the distance measurement result is OK or NG, and can imagine the finished state of the photograph. If the distance measurement result is N
Even in the case of G, since a photograph is taken at an arbitrary distance that is likely to be within the depth of focus, a great mistake can be avoided.

Further, in a scene using a strobe or in a strobe use mode, the subject distance measured by the distance measuring device at the time of remote control photographing is shorter than the strobe light reaching distance, or shorter than the strobe light reaching distance. Since the display method by the display means is different between the case and the case of a long distance, the photographer can know whether it is closer or farther than the reach of the strobe light, and can imagine the finished state of the photograph. If the distance is farther than the strobe light reach distance, the fact can be known. Therefore, a failed photograph can be prevented, and the distance can be shortened and the photographing can be performed again.

Furthermore, the display method by the display means is different between the case where the subject distance measured by the distance measuring device is shorter than the arbitrarily set distance and the case where the subject distance is longer than the arbitrarily set distance. At the time of photographing, it is possible to know whether the actual subject distance is closer or farther than the distance set in advance and predicted, and therefore, whether the distance measurement result is the subject distance or the background distance, You can imagine the finish.
