An input device has operation shafts whose tips project through a first elongate hole and a second elongate hole formed through an upper plate portion of a case main body and that are movable along the upper plate portion of the case main body. An operation knob is movably attached to the tips of the operation shafts. The case main body is provided with elastic support pieces that deform following the movement of the operation knob and elastically support the operation knob.

Provided are a setting device, a setting method, a setting program, and a camera that are capable of preventing erroneous operations with compact configurations. A display unit is provided on an upper surface of a shutter speed dial. The display unit displays a dial plate image. The dial plate image includes an image picture of a lock release button. A rotation detection unit detects that the shutter speed dial is rotationally operated. A touch sensor detects that the lock release button is pressed. In a case where the shutter speed dial is rotationally operated while the lock release button is pressed, a shutter speed is switched.

An electronic equipment has a rotational operation member that can be downsized and has high detection reliability. The electronic equipment includes a rotational operation member, a click mechanism providing a click feeling at each predetermined rotation angle, and a magnetic field generating member. A first magnetic field detecting part detects variation of a first direction-related magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating member, and a second magnetic field detecting part detects a variation of a second direction-related magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generating member. A rotation amount and a rotation direction of the rotational operation member are calculated based on the variations of the first direction-related magnetic field and the second direction-related magnetic field caused by a change in a positional relation of the first and second magnetic field detecting parts with the magnetic field generating member due to the rotation of the rotational operation member.

A system and method for connecting supply power to motor control components includes use of a motor control center subunit with moveable supply power contacts. After a motor control center subunit is secured into a motor control center compartment, the supply power contacts may be advanced to engage supply power buses. For disconnection, the supply power contacts may be retracted and isolated from the buses before physical removal of the subunit.

In a power seat operation device, a micro switch is attached inside a dial that is rotatably provided to a side face of a power seat. An opening is formed inside the dial, with an operation portion of a knob to operate the micro switch inserted through the opening. There is accordingly a possibility that liquid might infiltrate into the dial, however a channel is formed inside the dial by the dial and the knob. The channel lets liquid flow downward to the lower side of the micro switch so as to discharge the liquid to outside the dial in cases in which liquid has infiltrated into the dial through the opening in a state in which the opening is positioned at the upper side of the micro switch. The channel is partitioned from the micro switch, enabling flow of liquid to the micro switch to be prevented or suppressed.
