Abstract
A video recording/reproducing camera has a cover which covers control buttons associated with the reproduction operation to prevent an operator from touching the control buttons. A sensor switch detects whether or not the cover prevents the control buttons from being touched erroneously by the operator. When the sensor switch detects that the cover uncovers the control buttons to permit the control buttons to be touched by the operator, the operation of the video camera and the recording operation are disabled and only the reproduction mode is enabled. Therefore, the erroneous operations during the recording and reproduction modes are prevented.
