Abstract
A function selective camera having a CCD distance measuring sensor comprising a code table containing optical codes expressing a plurality of selective and changeable functional conditions and/or data of the camera. The code table is provided separately from the camera. A function selecting means converts a code formed on the code table into a predetermined optical code which can be decoded by the CCD distance measuring sensor. Control means provided on a camera body enables a photographer to select or change the functional conditions of the camera on the basis of the code read by the CCD distance measuring sensor.
