The operating interface of hardware and software has also become the focus of product design. Therefore, this research compared the differences of traditional and digital operating interface of single-lens reflex cameras. The purpose was to explore the convenience and adaptation of using digital products from the viewpoint of general publics and users of traditional single-lens reflex cameras. The design suggestions for the future interface of single-lens reflex cameras were also proposed. 　　In the experiment of task operation, this research employed two-way ANOVA and a within-subjects design, which was 2 (participants with/without the experience of using traditional single-lens reflex cameras) × 3 (three different single-lens reflex cameras). The experimental samples were Nikon FM2, a traditional single-lens reflex camera, and Nikon D80 and Nikon D200, two digital single-lens reflex cameras. The results were as follows. 1. Among experimental tasks, there were significant differences in the operating efficiency of “task 1- deep depth of field effect”, “task 2- slow shutter” and “task 5- self-timer”. There were no interaction between testees and experimental samples. The operating contents of these three tasks were basically executed by manual methods. The traditional single-lens reflex camera Nikon FM2 achieved the best efficiency among the three tasks. There were confusion in the operating interface of Nikon D80 and Nikon D200 in the use of aperture and shutter. However, Nikon D200 had clearer and more complete information display. 2. As to satisfaction, although there was unclarity in button setting, Nikon FM2 had average performance with Nikon D80. In general, Nikon D200 was not rated properly especially in “task 5- self-timer” with less satisfaction; in the overall operating contents, there were less hints in the interface and more complicated operation.
