A display device for a camera has a display panel with a digital display unit having seven display segments disposed in a figure-eight shape. The digital display unit displays the number of exposed frames or other exposure information, and in addition, a portion of display segments is utilized for display or for indicating an alarm condition of the camera. In order to clearly recognize the display or alarm of the camera conditions, a character or symbol representative of the display content or alarm content is disposed near a display segment used for both numerical display, and camera condition display or alarm. A display of the film winding state is performed by flashing the laterally elongated display segments positioned between patterns formed sideways of the digital display unit and symbolizing a film supply section and a film winding section.
