Claims (10)

The two states of the rotation switch, the restriction state with the rotation restriction of the rotation switch, and the non-restriction state without the rotation restriction of the rotation switch are independent of the functions other than the functions assigned to the respective states of the rotation switch. Switching means that can be switched, and a regulating member that regulates rotation of the rotary switch when the switching means is in the regulated state,
In the restricted state, at least one of functions having discrete output values such as a shutter speed or an aperture is assigned, and in the non-restricted state, an output value such as a focus or a zoom magnification of a lens is a continuous function. At least one is assigned, and
The digital camera is characterized in that control corresponding to the function assigned to the state selected by the switching means is performed by rotating the rotary switch.   2. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein when the restricted state and the non-restricted state are switched by the switching unit, the original state before the switching is maintained.   The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein the restriction member is electrically controlled by the switching unit.   4. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein the rotation switch has a shape of a rotating ring provided around a lens barrel.   The digital camera according to claim 3, wherein the switching unit can be switched from an operation setting screen.   4. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein the switching unit is switched by an operation of pushing or pulling out the rotation switch to a housing side. 5.   The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein the switching unit is a touch sensor provided around the rotary switch.   7. The digital camera according to claim 1, wherein presence or absence of restriction by the restriction unit is controlled in accordance with an operation state of the digital camera.   Switching between the rotary switch and the two states, that is, the state where the rotation switch is restricted and the state where the rotation switch is not restricted, regardless of the functions other than the functions assigned to the rotation switch. Switching means, and a regulating member that regulates the rotation of the rotary switch when the regulation means is in the regulation state. In the regulation state, the output value such as shutter speed or aperture has a discrete function. At least one of them is assigned as a function corresponding to the operation of the rotary switch. The rotation switch can be switched regardless of functions other than at least two functions of the same operation mode assigned to the rotation switch, and the control state in which the rotation switch is operated has a click feeling and the rotation switch is operated in a click feeling. Switching means for switching between non-regulated states,
A function having discrete output values is assigned to the restricted state, and a continuous function having the same operation mode as the discrete function is assigned to the non-restricted state.
The electronic apparatus is controlled in accordance with a function assigned to the state selected by the switching means by operating the rotary switch.
