A mechanism, of a camera, for surely resetting a microcomputer at time of
switching among a plurality of types of power sources. In the mechanism in
which a manual operation dial for switching among the plurality of types
of power sources is rotated to slide an electrical contact piece over a
predetermined electrically conductive/non-conductive pattern so that a
desired power source type is selected, an electric
conductivity/non-conductivity between an IC and a negative terminal
changes, immediately before an electric power across a positive terminal
and the negative terminal is changed from "ON" to "OFF", and immediately
after the electric power is changed from "OFF" to "ON". In association
with the change, the IC outputs a reset signal to the microcomputer of the
camera.
