An indicator arrangement includes comparators for parallel comparison of an analog input voltage with digitalizing standard voltages to digitalize the input voltage and an indicator for indicating digitalized output. The arrangement is provided with a controller periodically switched between a first control state and a second control state. The controller in the first control state allows the comparators to perform comparison in a first voltage range of the analog input voltage while in the second control state it allows the comparators to perform comparison in a second voltage range of the analog input voltage.There is provided an encoder for coding the digitalized output of the comparators with a first coding mode in the first control state of the controller and coding the digitalized output of the comparators with a second coding mode in the second control state. The encoder is adapted to drive the indicator with a first or second mode according to the state of the controller.

A motor drive apparatus comprises phase switches adapted to assume a first state upon shutter release of a camera, to cause the film advancement to be started upon receipt of an exposure completion signal from the camera in the first state and to assume a second state upon completion of the film advancement to enable succeeding shutter release. A timer circuit is adapted to start counting time upon receipt of the exposure completion signal from the camera and to release a timer signal upon completion of counting after the lapse of a predetermined period. Release apparatus is adapted to generate a release signal during the second state of the phase switches and upon release of the timer signal from the timer circuit thereby causing the shutter release of camera to be started. The motor drive apparatus can avoid the influence of variation in the film advancing period in continuous photographing and achieve an always constant actual interval.

In a camera having a stop drive mechanism adapted to be driven by an electric motor to vary a stop aperture and a film wind-up mechanism adapted to be driven by the electric motor to wind up a film, the electric motor is rotated to drive the stop drive mechanism before exposure of the film, and it is also rotated to drive the film wind-up mechanism after the exposure of the film. The rotating speeds of the electric motor in the first rotation to drive the stop drive mechanism and in the second rotation to drive the film wind-up mechanism are independently variable.

A light measuring apparatus for camera is disclosed. It is known that some type of light measuring apparatus for camera involves the problem of so-called "latch" which is caused by opposite charge accumulated at the high impedance location in the light measuring circuit. The light measuring apparatus is provided with means for cancelling the latch in a simple and reliable manner.
