Abstract
A camera includes a frame counter having a single numerical scale of frame count indicia capable of being successively viewed after each picture is taken. The frame count indicia are arranged in one column in which the indicia are only odd numbers and are arranged in another column in which the indicia are only even numbers. An indicia viewing change-over is movable from one column to another after each picture is taken, to alternately view an odd number in one column or an even number in another column.
Claims19
A camera with a frame counter having a single numerical scale of frame count indicia capable of being successively viewed after each picture is taken, is characterized in that:
- said frame count indicia are arranged in multiple columns to permit one of the indicia to be viewed after another when switching from one column to another after each picture is taken;
- and
- an indicia viewing change-over is movable from one column to another after each picture is taken, to view one of said frame count indicia after another.

A method in a camera of using a frame counter that has a single numerical scale of frame count indicia capable of being successively viewed after each picture is taken, is characterized by:
- providing the frame count indicia in multiple columns to permit one of the indicia to be viewed after another when switching from one column to another after each picture is taken;
- and
- moving an indicia viewing change-over from one column to another after each picture is taken, to view one of the frame count indicia after another.

- providing the frame count indicia as only successive odd numbers in one column and only successive even numbers in another column;
- and
- moving an indicia viewing change-over from one column to another after each picture is taken, to alternately view an odd number in one column or an even number in another column.
