Abstract
A camera having a common control circuit comprises a control circuit for selectively executing at least a first program for a first type of camera and a second program for a second type of camera, and an identifying circuit for identifying any one of the two programs to be executed on the basis of an input identifying signal. The identified one of the programs is executed by the control circuit, and the identifying signal is output when electrical parts inherent to the first and second types of cameras are installed to the camera respectively.
