Abstract
A multi-function camera having a display unit in which the different operational modes are displayed in different colors. The operational modes are controlled by manipulation members on the exterior surface of the camera. The manipulation members are color coordinated with the respective operational modes. As a result, a photographer can quickly consult the display unit to find out the operational mode that the multi-function camera is operating in. Furthermore, the color coordination also makes it easier for a photographer to set the multi-function camera in the proper operational mode.
