Abstract
A handy type TV camera or motion picture camera with a grip includes a focal length varying means, a diaphragm aperture varying means and a focus adjusting means. One of these means is electrically controlled by use of a servomotor controlled by a potentiometer. Another of these means is manually controlled by use of a manually operable ring mounted on the camera. The remaining of these means is either electrically or manually controlled. The potentiometer for controlling the servomotor is operated by use of a manually operable control member provided on the grip of the camera. The control member is located on the back of the grip at an upper portion so that it is easily operated with the thumb of the hand which is used to hold the grip. The control member is horizontally movable or rotatable and the grip is extended obliquely downward and forward to further facilitate the operation of the control member.
