A combination camera and a DSC lens control method using the same,
including a lens position check unit for checking a position of a DSC
lens if electric power is applied, and a switching unit for switching the
DSC lens to a closed state if the lens position check unit decides that
the DSC lens is open. Thus, if the power is applied in the DVC mode after
the combination camera is turned off when the DSC lens has been open, the
combination camera can efficiently switch the DSC lens to the closed
state to thereby eliminate a user's inconvenience of using the DVC
picture-taking mode during the open state of the DSC lens, or the
inconvenience of switching the mode to the DSC image-capturing mode to
close the DSC lens and then switching the mode to the DVC
picture-capturing mode for use.
