PURPOSE: To restore interlocking of a gear due to quick-return motion of a release button, to the former condition, easily and exactly, by reading a state of a regular photographing mode selecting switch after a charge ring has been operated, and controlling a turn-on stop to a release magnet.
CONSTITUTION: When a quick-return motion of a release button is executed in the regular photographing mode, unless a charge ring 26 is returned to its operation end position due to gnawing of a gear for interlock-turning the front motor and the ring 26, a switch S22 is not turned on. As a result, a transistor TR remains off, a state of a regular mode selecting switch S3 is read, a signal is not inputted to the first control part 100, and turn-on to a release magnet 47 is not stopped. Therefore, when a photographer pushes the release button again, a prescribed gear is detached from the ring row forcibly through the release lever, and interlocking of the gear is restored to its former condition easily and exactly.
