RANGE-FINDING DIRECTION VARIABLE CAMERA

PURPOSE:To reduce space for attachment without using a lever and moving a finger by attaining the driving control of the range-finding direction of a range-finding direction setting means in the relative positional direction of the pressed pressure sensor out of plural sensors provided at two or more places with a driving control means. CONSTITUTION:When the pressure sensor 1 of the right is strongly pressed, an AF target is moved to the right. When the pressure sensor 1 of the right is not strongly pressed, the AF target is moved to the left. Just after a photographer focuses the AF target on a target object, he or she half depresses a shutter release button 3. A focus locking state is obtained by the half depressing of the shutter release button 3. After that, the photographing processing of the camera 50 is executed in the focus locking state in the position of an AF target position. Thus, the AF target (range-finding direction) is moved to the side of the strongly gripped sensor out of the pressure sensors 1 and 2 provided on both sides of a grip, to set the AF target.
