摘要:
A camera has an exposure device for effecting a photographing operation on a film in response to manipulation of a member, and a self-timer for causing the exposure device to effect the photographing operation after the counting of a predetermined time. The self-timer has a first state for causing the exposure device to effect the photographing operation only once and a second state for causing the exposure device to effect the photographing operation plural times. The camera comprises a first display for indicating that the self-timer is in an operable state, a second display for indicating that the exposure device functions plural times in response to the manipulation of the number, independently of the self-timer, and a control device for controlling the first and second display. The control device is adapted to only activate the first display in the first state of the self-timer and to activate both the first and second displays in the second state of the self-timer.

A display apparatus in a camera for displaying photographic information using rotating elements. The display apparatus includes rotating pointers which rotate about display scales to display the photographic information. The display apparatus further includes a control unit which receives camera control information and in response to the control information, the control unit controls driving circuitry which causes the rotating display pointer to point to an index on the display scale representing the photographic information.

A control device for use with a view finder optical system of a view finder camera having a variable focal length photographic optical system. The control device includes a view finder having a view finder optical system with a variably set view finder focal length that is set based on the focal length of the photographic optical system, a view finder angle of view detection unit that detects a view finder angle of view in accordance with a position of the view finder optical system and that outputs a first signal, a photographic optical system angle of view detection unit that detects a photographic optical system angle of view in accordance with the position of the photographic optical system and that outputs a second signal, and a view finder drive unit that receives the first and second signals and moves the view finder optical system so that the view finder angle of view and the photographic optical system angle of view correspond. Also provided is an imaging unit that includes a variable focal length view finder optical system, a variable focal length imaging optical system and a control unit that determines a focal length of the variable focal length imaging optical system and that causes the variable focal length view finder optical system to maintain a focal length that corresponds to the focal length of the imaging optical system. Finally, a method for adjusting a view field of a view finder is provided and involves determining the focal length of a variable focal length photographic optical system and adjusting the focal length of a variable focal length view finder optical system in accordance therewith.

A display device including a display not enabled condition of a measured value if the measured value is outside the scale range of the display equipment is disclosed. A pointer is driven according to the operation of an operation device during a setting value display mode, while the pointer is driven to a measured value during a measured value display mode. If the measured value is outside the scale range during the measured value display mode, the pointer 65 is driven to the scale position indicating the display not enabled condition.

A camera is provided with several displays illuminated by several illuminators which are controlled to be turned on and off in dependence upon the operation of several illuminator buttons. Further, the brightness of the illuminators, when turned on, may be determined according to the operation of the illuminator buttons and according to the brightness of the object to be photographed.

When a preparation for photography signal is input from a release switch assembly without said photography command signal being input therefrom, the brightness of an object to be photographed is measured and an exposure value is calculated therefrom, the focus adjustment state of the photographic lens is detected, and these values are displayed. At the time point when this display operation has been completed, if and only if the preparation for photography signal is still being input from the release switch assembly, focus adjustment of the photographic lens is performed based upon the detected focus adjustment state. Further, when the photography command signal is input from the release switch assembly without any substantial time lapse after the preparation for photography signal is input therefrom, the brightness of the object to be photographed is measured and an exposure value is calculated therefrom, the focus adjustment state of the photographic lens is detected, thereafter focus adjustment of the photographic lens is performed, and thereafter exposure of the film is performed according to the exposure value.

An indicating apparatus of a camera, has an indicating unit, a driving unit and an adjusting unit. The indicating unit includes an indicating member capable of indicating any of a plurality of indicated positions. The driving unit drives the indicating member on the basis of information on photography of the camera. The adjusting unit is capable of adjusting the indicated position of the indicating member irrespective of the information on the present photography of the camera. Each indicated position corresponds to an item of information on the photography of the camera.
