Camera

A camera that has different appearances between when in operation and when out of operation, comprising:

• an image-sensing portion for sensing an image;
• a taking optical system for directing light to the image-sensing portion;
• an operation portion for accepting at least a command to stop camera operation;
• a controller portion that, when a command to stop camera operation is given while the camera is in operation, performs a plurality of processes for stopping camera operation,
• wherein the controller portion performs, among the plurality of processes for stopping camera operation, a process that brings about a change in appearance with highest priority, and then, after the camera has assumed an appearance that the camera is designed to assume when out of operation, performs one or more processes that bring about no change in appearance.

A digital camera comprising:

• an image sensor for sensing an image;
• a taking optical system for directing light to the image sensor, the taking optical system including a turning optical system for turning an optical path and a zoom optical system, disposed between the turning optical system and the image sensor, for varying shooting magnification;
• a driver portion for driving a movable lens of the zoom optical system;
• a storage portion for storing a position of the movable lens of the zoom optical system;
• an operation portion for accepting a command to start shooting operation and a command to stop shooting operation;
• and
• a controller portion for controlling the driver portion to drive the movable lens of the zoom optical system while detecting the position of the movable lens of the zoom optical system,
• wherein, when a command to stop shooting operation is given, the controller portion makes the storage portion store the position of the movable lens at that time point, and, when a command to start shooting operation is given, the controller portion controls driving of the movable lens according to the position stored in the storage portion.
