    摘要: This invention relates to photographic cameras, and more particularly to an exposure control circuit of the type in which an analog output representative of the object brightness level is converted to a digital signal which is factored into an exposure value, and the period of actuation of the camera shutter is controlled in accordance with this exposure value. Still more particularly, it relates to an improvement over this conventional type exposure control with respect to the A-D conversion. The prior art converts a voltage representative of the object brightness to a digital form by the use of an A-D converter such as of the follow comparison type which is characterized by the lack of integrating aspect in converting the input voltage to the corresponding digital signal. Therefore, when the illumination for the object being photographed is caused to flicker in a period of time shorter than the effective exposure time interval, an alternating current component is introduced into the input voltage of the converter. Accordingly, it is made impossible to effect accurate exposure control based on the digital signal representing the only object brightness level. The invention provides an exposure control circuit which is not susceptible of this alternate current component as it is removed in the course of the A-D conversion.

    摘要: An automatic exposure control apparatus for controlling the diaphragm of the camera in accordance with the preselected shutter time and the exposure value, in which a digital-to-analog converter having a counter responsive to the number of pulses supplied from a clock pulse generator through a gate produces a time variable output capable of attaining a certain level dependent upon the preselected shutter time and a light value as photoelectrically sensed, that is, an exposure value and, which is detected by a first comparator. The output of the first comparator is applied to the gate, so that the converter is set to memorize the exposure value therein. As the diaphragm presetting ring is moved from the maximum to minimum aperture position with production of a time variable output from a signal generator associated therewith, a second comparator responsive to the attainment of the time variable output of the signal generator to a level dependent upon the final output of the set converter produces an output which is applied to arresting means for the diaphragm presetting ring. This results in automatic adjustment of the position of the presetting ring. At the time the presetting ring begins to move, the diaphragm driving means is actuated causing the diaphragm means to be brought into engagement with the ring. Thus, an effective exposure aperture is established in the diaphragm means.

    摘要: A photographic camera having a manually and automatically adjustable diaphragm is provided with an electromagnetically operated diaphragm scanning mechanism in combination with a manually operable depth of field pre-viewing device to enable a visual determination of the utilizable zone of sharpness in a reflex viewfinder of the camera regardless of the fact that the camera remains in the run down position. For this purpose, the diaphragm scanning mechanism includes a scanning member and a driving member arranged to establish driving connection therebetwen during the automatic adjustment of the diaphragm. Release means is provided and is responsive to the termination of closing operation of the camera shutter for effecting release of the driving connection, whereby the photographer before cocking the camera is enabled to manipulate the diaphragm followed by the pre-viewing device to read off the range of sharpness in dependence on the manual setting of the diaphragm for use in making a subsequent exposure.

    摘要: An exposure control apparatus operating with selection of the diaphragm preselection and shutter preselection automatic exposure control modes is provided with first and second signal shapers arranged to cooperate with a lens aperture mechanism through a common intermediate member. Upon setting of a desired diaphragm value in the lens aperture mechanism, the intermediate member is driven along with the first signal shaper in exactly corresponding relation. In the shutter preselection automatic diaphragm control mode, while the first signal shaper is cut off from connection with an exposure value computer, the second signal shaper is driven for scanning operation to produce ever-varying outputs which are compared with the output of the computer upon coincidence to stop movement of the lens aperture mechanism, thereby the scanning result is translated to the proper diaphragm presetting, as the intermediate member is arranged to delay the start of movement of the lens aperture mechanism from the start of the scanning operation by a time interval determined by taking into account the signal response characteristics of the automatic diaphragm adjusting mechanism.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an exposure information setting device for a camera having a digital control system in which the aperture value of the lens is applied to the exposure amount control circuit as digital information by means of the aperture value setting mechanism. The device is so designed that the first comb tooth shaped conductor pattern and the second comb tooth shaped conductor pattern are arranged in parallel with each other in such a manner that a phase difference takes place between them. A pair of series of pulses are obtained by making the contact in functional engagement with the aperture value setting operation, moving slidingly over the first and the second conductor patterns. The direction along which the aperture value information varies is detectable by applying the pair of series of pulses thus obtained to the exposure operational circuit through the phase sorting circuit.
