摘要:
In a camera system including an electronic flash apparatus, a main capacitor of the flash apparatus is charged for a predetermined time interval, in response to a preparatory operation such as a first stroke of a release button. During this time interval, operation of an automatic distance measuring device, an automatic exposure controlling device and an object luminance discriminating circuit is prevented. A warning device warns a photographer that the main capacitor is insufficiently charged. Several voltage detectors detect different voltage levels of the main capacitor and produce detection signals for inhibiting the operation of the warning device and/or preventing further charging of the main capacitor.

A power supply device includes a voltage output unit configured to output a DC voltage corresponding to a control signal from a first controller and an output evaluator configured to perform a judgment process of judging whether or not the DC voltage is a voltage corresponding to a set value received from the fist controller, and to output a result of the judgment to the first controller. The output evaluator includes a storage for storing correspondence information which shows a correspondence relationship between the set value and a voltage value of the DC voltage outputted from the voltage output unit. The output evaluator performs the judgment process by outputting the correspondence information to the first controller, and receiving a set value determined on the basis of the correspondence information from the first controller.

A power supply with a digital control circuit generates an output voltage by driving a piezoelectric transducer with an alternating current voltage at a digitally controlled driving frequency. To skip over a spurious frequency, the driving frequency is switched between a first range above the spurious frequency and a second range below the spurious frequency. Within the first and second ranges, the driving frequency is varied in directions that make the output voltage track a target voltage. If the driving frequency arrives at the lower limit of the first range, it jumps to a switchover frequency in the second range. The first range can be used to generate a comparatively low output voltage, and the second range to generate a comparatively high output voltage.

A film driving circuit that is capable of normal driving and reverse driving to drive-control a first motor and a second motor each rotating in only one direction. The motor driving circuit is structured so the first motor driving and the second motor driving is controlled by four switching elements composing a bridge circuit. The first motor connects to the connecting points of two of the switching elements. The second motor connects to the connecting points of the other two of the four switching elements. A CPU controls the first motor and the second motor by controlling the on-off status of the four switching elements.

On the basis of inputted multivalued image data, direction of growth is decided from a density pattern having a plurality of growth directions and a density pattern is caused to grow based upon the growth direction that has been decided. As a result, character images are formed sharply and high-quality half-tone images exhibiting reduced density irregularity can be produced.

An image processing apparatus in which a density pattern is generated which corresponds to input image data. Growth direction of the density pattern is controlled by generating a density pattern in a prescribed direction, and generating a density pattern in a direction based on a random signal. As a result, when printing the image data based on the generated density patterns, there is no joining between adjacent pixels and a high-quality image is produced.

A remote control apparatus for an auto-focus camera according to the present invention has a transmitter for transmitting a light signal for remote control, and a light receiver producing a pair of output signals reciprocally varying in conformity with a light receiving position on a light receiving surface thereof which is in a distance measurement range in a photographing picture plane. When the light receiver receives the light signal for remote control transmitted from the transmitter, a control signal for starting a photographing operation is produced on the basis of the sum of the pair of output signals. The output signals are also used for the production of a light receiving position signal for range finding.
