Abstract
A movie camera and a method of photographing a still with the movie camera is provided wherein the movie camera is of a type wherein a motionless picture or still can be photographed during a movie photography operation and when the illumination falling on an object is a predetermined value or less at the start in the photography of the still during the movie photography operation, stroboscopic flashes of light are produced from a strobe device to enable still photography. The movie camera basically includes a CCD for converting image information corresponding to light incident on a lens into an electric signal, a movie-photography triggering signal generating device for starting a movie photography operation, a still-photography triggering signal generating device for starting a still photography operation, and an electronic shutter speed switching device for changing over the shutter speed to a desired shutter speed faster than that at the time of the movie photography when the still-photography triggering signal generating device is activated to start the still photography operation during the movie photography operation. According to the above construction, the strobe device automatically produces flashing light in synchronism with the shutter timing of a high-speed operated shutter for thereby enabling instant photography of a desired motionless picture.
