Abstract
In order to delay the timing of photographing easily without releasing a self-timer even after the self-timer has been operated and also, to enable distance measurement or photometry to be easily effected over again without releasing the self-timer even after the self-timer has been operated, a camera has a self-timer, a self-timer extension switch and a control device responsive to the self-timer extension switch during the operation of the self-timer to control so as to effect the time extension of the self-timer.
