Therefore, the time when it is possible to shoot is clear, there is no risk of confusion, and it is possible to prevent shooting when it is not intended.
In addition, the camera is of a type that can be used as a digital camera by replacing the back cover when used as a silver halide film camera with a digital back equipped with an electronic imaging device, and setting in the digital back And a control unit configured to control an operation of the camera based on the set mode setting information.
According to the above configuration, the operation of the camera can be centrally controlled based on the mode setting information from the digital back. Therefore, when the attached digital back is set to be used for a mode other than the photographing mode, it is possible to prevent the camera from performing an unnecessary operation such as an exposure operation.
Preferably, the camera further includes a receiving unit configured to receive mode setting information set in the digital back, and the control unit performs an operation of the camera based on the mode setting information received by the receiving unit. Control.
Still preferably, the camera further includes a receiving unit that receives a control signal generated based on mode setting information set in the digital back, and the control unit controls the control received by the receiving unit. Control the operation of the camera based on the signal.

The camera CPU 40 is a microcomputer that supervises control of all the operations (photometry, distance measurement, exposure operation, etc.) of the camera body 10, and can be replaced with a processor and a rewritable memory (
RAM 40a and flash memory 40b) are built in. The camera CPU 40 operates in accordance with the program stored in the flash memory 40 b. Camera body 1
0, with the program silver-halide film camera is stored in the flash memory 40b, are shipped as a product. The program stored in the flash memory 40b is rewritten as needed as described later in detail. Data is temporarily stored in the RAM 40a.
