CI Cam is a well-known B[e]-type star and an X-ray transient, which underwent a powerful outburst in all parts of electromagnetic spectrum in 1998. An extensive V-band photometric monitoring revealed that rapid variability of CI Cam on the time scale of several hours is due to the pulsations of the B4 III-V type component. High-precision CCD photometry of the star was performed with the 50-cm Maksutov (meniscus) telescope of the Crimean station of the Sternberg Astronomical Institute of Moscow State University in December 2006 during the quiescent state of the star. The data are analyzed using the methods of discrete Fourier transform and by modeling of the light curve. The amplitude spectrum of the star is dominated by two peaks corresponding to the periods of 0.41521 and 0.26647 days with the period ratio close to 3:2. At least two pulsation modes are excited and the star exhibits signs of the resonance between modes.
