Abstract
A mode setter 92 causes a shake sensor controller 43 and a shake amount detector 51 to execute a routine of low-speed control when the switch S1 is ON, and a routine of high-speed control when the switch S2 is ON. A display signal generator 121 generates a display signal based on the shake amounts obtained through a prescribed number of detections by the shake amount detector 51. A display 122 has multiple types of LEDs that illuminate in response to a display signal generated by the display signal generator 121 when the switch S1 is ON.
