Abstract
A camera system on which a remote control device enables photographing with a camera body directed to a user of the remote control device, is controlled by a program of a microcomputer for controlling provided in the camera body. In this program, while the lens direction of the camera body is being shifted by the remote control device, a release signal sent from the remote control device is disregarded. As a result, even if the user pushes a release button by mistake to transmit a release signal, the microcomputer does not accept a remote control release signal while the lens is moving by a remote control drive signal, thereby preventing exposure.
