Camera
There is provided a camera of which operability is good regardless of the brightness of the surrounding environment. The brightness of the surrounding environment is detected by a brightness detection unit provided in a camera. The contents of settings of the camera are displayed on a sub-display 18 in a situation in which the surrounding environment is bright. The contents of settings of the camera and an image representing the set state of a shutter speed dial 33 are displayed on the sub-display 18 in a case in which the surrounding environment is dark.
1. A camera comprising:
a camera body including a first surface, a second surface facing the first surface, and a third surface crossing the first surface and the second surface;
a lens mount configured to have a lens mounted thereon, the lens mount being disposed on the first surface side;
a rotary dial operable to set a value of imaging;
a first display configured to display a live view image, the first display being disposed on the second surface side;
a second display configured to display the value that is set by the rotary dial, the second display being disposed on the third surface side, the second display including a display surface having a normal that is perpendicular to the display surface of the second display and is nonparallel to an optical axis of the camera; and
a system controller configured to control a display of the second display,
wherein in a case in which a lens is mounted on the lens mount, the system controller changes a brightness of the second display in accordance with a brightness of an imaging light incident on the camera through the lens.
2. The camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein the rotary dial is disposed on the third surface side, and
wherein the second display and the rotary dial are disposed on a same side with respect to the optical axis of the camera, in a view from the third surface side.
3. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the system controller changes only the brightness of the second display in accordance with the brightness of the imaging light to raise a visibility of the second display.
4. The camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein the value of imaging is a shutter speed, and
wherein the system controller raises a visibility of the value of the shutter speed on the second display after the rotary dial is operated.
5. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the system controller changes the brightness of the second display in stages based on a plurality of threshold values with respect to the brightness of the imaging light.
6. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the system controller is a microcomputer.
7. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the brightness of the imaging light is detected based on a brightness of image data obtained by imaging of the imaging light.
8. The camera according to claim 7 , further comprising:
a lens mounted on the lens mount.
9. The camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein the camera is a non-reflex digital camera.
10. The camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first display is a variable-angle display, and
wherein the first display is movable with respect the second surface side in a direction toward and away from the third surface side.
11. The camera according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a lens mounted on the lens mount.
12. The camera according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a lens mounted on the lens mount.
13. The camera according to claim 3 , further comprising:
a lens mounted on the lens mount.
14. The camera according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a lens mounted on the lens mount.
15. The camera according to claim 1 , wherein the system controller changes only the brightness of the second display in stages based on a plurality of threshold values with respect to the brightness of the imaging light.
16. The camera according to claim 15 further comprising:
a lens mounted on the lens mount.
17. The camera according to claim 16 ,
wherein the camera is a non-reflex digital camera.
18. The camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein a brightness of the third surface is presumed in accordance with the brightness of the imaging light.
19. The camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein the normal of the display surface of the second display is perpendicular to the optical axis of the camera.
20. The camera according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second display is configured not to display the live view image.
