A distance indication arrangement for a photographic camera includes a plate having a plurality of numerals or symbolic marks thereon representing distances from the camera to the object being photographed. A multi-position switch is provided which is operable independently of the shutter releasing mechanism of the camera to selectively feed current to illumination elements associated with the numerals or marks. In accordance with the position of the switch, an individual numeral or mark is illuminated.

Flash and camera apparatus integrally incorporating an electronic flashing device for firing a flash discharge tube and a photographic camera device with a fixed focus lens system. The apparatus includes an aperture change-over mechanism for changing the aperture to an appropriate value depending on the paticular mode of photography selected. The selectable modes include both far and near modes for objects which are within allowable range of the camera to achieve proper flash mode photography and also daylight mode photography. An indication element for indicating the existence of a condition under which the electronic flash device is able to fire in the flash mode and which indicates whether the distance to the object is far or near is also provided. Further provided is a switch mechanism for simultaneously performing the functions of operating the aperture changeover mechanism, operating the indication element and supplying power to the electronic flash device. In this manner, daylight and flash mode photography are simplified, the allowable distance to the object for proper photography can be increased, and the distance from the object, i.e. far or near, is indicated for identification.

The invention discloses a program-controlled shutter wherein, depending upon the brightness of a subject, a suitable f-number and a suitable exposure time are determined by a plurality of shutter blades which are driven stepwise by a stepping motor in response to driving pulses applied thereto open the camera lens to a suitable f-number and then to close it after a suitable exposure time. To derive the electrical signal representative of the brightness of a subject, a photocell, an A-D converter, an encoder for encoding the output from a A-D converter into the binary-coded decimal signal, and a decoder for converting the output from the encoder into, for instance, a sexadecimal signal are used. In order to derive the opening pulse signal in response to which the shutter blades are opened to stop down the camera lens to a suitable f-number, a circuit for generating the voltage signal representative of the output signal from the decoder and a circuit for generating the opening pulse signal consisting of one or a plurality of pulses the number of which is dependent upon the voltage signal are used. In order to determine a suitable exposure time, an integrator in which the time when the voltage charged across a capacitor reaches a predetermined level is dependent upon the output from the decoder and a circuit which generates, in response to the output from the integrator, a closing pulse signal for reversing the stepping motor so as to close the shutter blades after a suitable exposure time which is a function of the f-number set for a given light or exposure value EV are used.

The invention discloses a program-controlled shutter of the type in which, in response to the brightness of a subject, an electronic control circuit controls the motions of a stepping motor so that a plurality of shutter blades coupled thereto may be opened to define a desired aperture, for a time interval, depending upon the brightness of the subject. The control circuit includes a pulse generator, a circuit for determining the number of pulses to be applied to the stepping motor in response to the brightness of the subject so that the shutter blades may be opened to define an aperture optimum for that brightness, a time constant circuit for determining the exposure time; that is, the time interval from the time when the shutter blades begin to open to the time when they are closed again as a function of the aperture defined depending upon the brightness of the subject, a circuit for changing the time constant of the time constant circuit depending upon the opening pulses applied to the stepping motor, a circuit for causing the stepping motor to close the shutter blades after they are opened to define the desired aperture, a circuit for resetting the above circuits immediately after the shutter blades are closed again, and a circuit for selectively connecting the above circuits to a power supply.
摘要:
A combination of a camera device and an electronic flash device in which not only switching between the natural light mode and electronic flash mode but also the exposure control are automatically effected depending on the sensitivity of the film and the brightness of the object to be photographed. Said combination comprises means for connecting the electronic flash device to an electric power source only when the former satisfies an optimal condition of use for avoiding the loss of electric energy and does not open the shutter of the camera device when the electronic flash device does not meet the optimal conditions of use for preventing mis-operation thereof.
