Abstract
A camera with a condition indication facility allows a photographer to be informed of a camera shake condition through the use of a relatively simple construction. A plurality of shake level indicators are provided in the rear cover of the camera. The indicators are placed in the rear cover so that, when the rear cover is closed, they are positioned near the viewfinder window so as to allow the photographer to confirm the operating conditions of the camera while looking through the viewfinder window.
