摘要:
A camera acoustic indicating device for indicating, by sound, attainment of an in-focus condition of a camera objective lens and warning possibility of a blur occuring exposure time due to low brightness of an object to be photographed. The sound for the in-focus indication is intermittently generated at a frequency higher than that at which the sound for the blur warning is intermittently generated. When the attainment of an in-focus condition is detected while the blur warning is being made, the warning is interrupted for a given time period during which the attainment of the in-focus condition is indicated for a short time.

A camera has an exposure control unit and a focus control unit. The exposure control unit selectively provides a programmed exposure control mode, where an aperture value and a shutter speed value are automatically set based on a detection by a light metering sensor and an accordance with a preset program, and a manual exposure control mode where at least either of the aperture value and the shutter speed value is set manually. The focus control unit selectively provides an autofocus mode where a focusing is automatically effected based on a detection by a focus sensor and a manual focus mode where the focusing is effected manually. The invention is characterized by a feature which permits a forcible switchover of the focus control mode from the manual to the auto focus mode in response to a switchover of exposure control mode from the manual to the auto exposure mode.

A camera is provided with a camera data input/output device which operates selectively to read the film data of a film cartridge and to receive and output the camera checking data through a group of terminals provided in a film chamber accommodating the film cartridge and a part of an external device detachably attached to the camera body. In response to a control signal input from the external device, the camera checking data are exchanged between the camera body and the external device, and the film data are received with the film cartridge loaded in the film chamber.

A camera accessory such as an exchangeable lens or an electronic flash device, selectively attached to a camera and having a driven member and an encoder for the driven member. The encoder having a pattern for position adjustment and a brush linked with the driven member, the encoder being constructed to produce code data indicative of the position of the brush on the pattern. The camera accessory outputs a signal indicative of a relationship between the driven member and encoder on the basis of the data from the encoder, the signal being used for the position adjustment.

An exchangeable lens to be mounted on a camera body by the rotation of the lens barrel is provided with a plurality of terminals arranged circularly along the circumference of the lens barrel about the optical axis of the lens barrel and are connected to a CMOS circuit in the lens. The terminals include a power supply terminal and a ground terminal through which electric power is supplied from the camera and a signal terminal through which a signal is transmitted between the camera body and the lens. The power supply terminal and the ground terminal are arranged to come into contact with their corresponding camera terminals in advance of the signal terminals when the lens is rotated to mount it on the camera body.

A photographic camera provided with a focus detecting system having a device for periodically sensing a focus condition of the camera to repeatedly produce a signal in response to every periodical sensing of the focus condition so as to effect the focus detection according to the signal from the sensing device.
摘要:
A photographic camera having a photographic operating device including a focus detecting circuit, a shutter control circuit, a light measuring circuit and a light emission control circuit, an adjustment data memory for storing adjustment data based on functional characteristics of the respective circuits of the photographic operating device and an adjustment circuit for adjusting the respective circuits by using adjustment data read from the adjustment data memory. The adjustment data memory is consituted by an EEPROM for making it possible to conveniently and readily rewrite the adjustment data. The adjustment data is calculated from a linear function expression established between a design value and an actual value for avoiding trial-and-error preparatory operations for the adjustment.
摘要:
A camera system comprises one or more than two intermediate accessories and the number of the attached intermediate accessories is checked. When the intermediate accessories of more than the permitted number are interposed in the camera system, the automatic focusing operation is prohibited. Therefore, a large driving torque does not occur so as to prevent the bad effect on the camera driving system.

摘要:
An electronic flash device, detachably attached to a photographic camera, comprising a circuitry for carrying out preparatory operation for a flash photography, an input section for receiving a first start signal from the photographic camera and for outputting the same, signal outputting means responsive to a manual operation for outputting a second start signal, and power supply hold means connected to the circuitry, the input section and to the operational member. The above power supply hold means includes a power supply start section for starting the power supply to the circuitry by receiving either of the start signals, a power supply stop section for stopping the power supply to the circuitry when a predetermined time period has passed since the power supply start section starts the power supply, a judging section for judging by which start signal the circuitry is started and a changing section for changing the predetermined power supply time period in response to the judged result of the judging section such that the predetermined time period set when the circuitry is started by the first start signal is shorter than the predetermined time period set when the circuitry is started by the second start signal.
