A camera comprises a photographing data memory for storing data determined for each photographing at the time of photographing, a setting memory for determining whether to store the photographing data or not, a remaining memory capacity discriminator for outputting a first signal when a memory area to store the photographing data is present and outputting a second signal when the memory area to store the photographing data is exhausted. When the second signal is outputted, an alarm is displayed or a release operation is inhibited. In accordance with another aspect, the camera may comprise an inhibit circuit for comparing a memory capacity necessary to store the photographing data and a film end mark with a remaining memory capacity and inhibiting the storing of the photographing data when the remaining memory capacity is smaller than the required memory capacity. In accordance with another aspect, the camera may comprise an inhibit circuit to inhibit the updating of the setting of the type of the photographing data to be stored when a film loaded in the camera is in the course of photographing.

A camera with a visual line position detection device is capable of shortening the time required for auto focus detection and capable of more accurate selection of the focus detection point. The camera includes a focus detection device to output the results of distance measurements at a plurality of points where focus detection is possible and to detect focus for one of these points. A liquid crystal display device displays on a screen specified symbols overlapping the subject image on the positions corresponding to each of the points. A microprocessor accepts the results of the distance measurements from the focus detection system and selects one of the points based on the photographer visual line position as the point for focus detection among all the points whose distances are measured and on which focus detection is possible, excluding the points with an infinite focus distance.

The operating mode contents of a camera can easily be set by the visual alignment action of the photographer and by manual operation. In a first embodiment, a camera is equipped with a visual line position detection device that detects the position of the visual line of the photographer, a mode contents setting device that sets the contents of the operating modes, and a control device that, when it is determined from the output of the visual line position detection device that the photographer is aligning his vision on a predetermined area, changes the camera mode of the mode contents setting device. In a second embodiment, it is possible to quickly switch the camera mode that is the object of manual operation to the object of the visual alignment operation. It is then possible to change the contents of the mode through the visual alignment action, constituting the manual operation in the second embodiment. A selection device is started through the operation of an operation device, such as a mode switching device, and accomplishes a process wherein the camera mode set through manual operation using a mode setting device is set as the camera mode that is the object of contents changing through the action of visual alignment on numerical value setting areas.

A conventional position detecting device for determining the position of a pattern having light and dark areas projected on a image sensor, in which the output signal from the image sensor is converted into a quantized signal through a sample and hold circuit. An improvement according to the invention is provided with a filter for cutting off the frequency components of the quantized signal above a clock frequency used for reading photoelectric outputs in the image sensor to convert the quantized signal into an analog signal to be used for determining the position of the pattern, whereby a high resolving power not limited by the length of each element of the image sensor is achieved.

A photographic information storage device equipped with a memory, which is able to store photographic information regarding pictures taken by a camera. A control device is provided which executes writing of the photographic information to the memory and interrupts the writing of the photographic information when the memory is full. When the control device has interrupted writing, a second control device enables writing by automatically cancelling the interruption command.

In this camera system capable of imprinting data on film, imprint data setting elements SW11 and 61 select and set imprint data, which may be film specific imprint data and/or frame specific imprint data. Commanding elements SW12 and SW13 command a first imprinting operation in which data so set is imprinted as frame specific imprint data in a predetermined imprinting position for each film frame, and command a second imprinting operation in which data so set is imprinted as film specific imprint data in another position differing from all the imprinting positions for the film frames, for example on the header portion of the film. An imprinting device 62 and 63 performs the first imprinting operation and/or the second imprinting operation according to the commands issued by the commanding elements, and a data changeover signal output device 51, when the second imprinting operation is ordered, outputs a data changeover signal before the second imprinting operation, if frame specific imprint data is set by the setting elements. Accordingly, before performing the second imprinting operation, it is possible to change over this improperly set frame specific imprint data, which has no meaning as film specific imprint data when not associated with any particular film frame, to appropriate film specific imprint data.
