- 17. A camera system according to claim 14, wherein said output means includes light signal generating means and outputs said set information by a light signal.
- 18. A camera system according to claim 17, wherein said second detection means includes a circuit for receiving said light signal.
- 19. A camera system according to claim 14, wherein said particular camera operation is selected from among a plurality of sets on the basis of said set information.
- 20. A camera system according to claim 14, wherein said particular camera operation further includes the setting of the focus mode.
- 21. A camera system according to claim 14, wherein said exposure control in said particular camera operation is to set at least the shutter time or the aperture value, and said control of the movement of the recording medium is to feed a film so that single shot photographing may be done or to feed said film so that continuous photographing may be done.
- 22. A camera system according to claim 20, wherein said setting of the focus mode is to set one of the servo mode in which the auto-focus operation is continued still after the in-focus and the one-shot mode in which the auto-focus operation is inhibited after the in-focus.
- 23. A camera system according to claim 14, wherein said particular camera operation further includes the selection of a plurality of focus detection points.
- 24. A camera system according to claim 14, wherein said particular camera operation further includes the setting of the photometry mode.
- 25. A camera system according to claim 14, wherein said set information in said information supplying device is the information in an information card.
- 26. A camera system according to claim 14, wherein said control means selects the kind of said particular camera operation in conformity with the operation of an outside operating member.
- 27. A camera system comprising:
- (A) an information reading and supplying device, wherein the information is a combination of at least exposure mode data and recording movement mode data, including:
- (A-1) first detection means for detecting a bar code representative of set information; and
- (A-2) output means for converting said set information read by said first detection means into a signal for supply and outputting said signal; and
- (B) a camera body including:
- (B-1) second detection means for detecting said signal for supply output from said output means; and
- (B-2) control means responsive to the information for performing a particular camera operation on the basis of the result of the detection by said second detection means, said control means setting a plurality of camera modes including at least the control of the movement of a recording medium at a time and performing said particular camera operation.
