A light measuring and indicating circuit utilizing indicating elements such as light-emitting diodes, to indicate corresponding light intensity levels. Intermediate levels are indicated without increasing the number of flip-flops employed in an activating circuit for the light-emitting diodes by intentionally causing the circuit to activate light-emitting diodes alternately. The activating circuit includes a reversible digital counter controlling the light-emitting diodes, two comparators for operating the counter reversibly in response to the comparison of light-dependent and standard signals, and a digital-to-analog converter which varies one or more of said signals in accordance with a counter output.

An exposure meter includes a plurality of indicating elements, such as illuminating diodes which are turned on by the output of a photometry device and the diodes are repeatedly turned on and off by the output signal from a switch. This turn on and turn off of the diodes can be reversely effected. By so doing, a preset shutter speed or stop value is indicated in the finder and pointer-follow function of the exposure can be achieved using the minimum number of diodes.

A device for testing the voltage of a voltage source comprises a bridge circuit, a differential switching circuit and an indicator element. The bridge circuit includes a first circuit comprising a first resistor; a second circuit comprising first diode means connected to the first circuit; a third circuit comprising a second resistor connected to the first circuit, the junction between the third and first circuits being connected to one terminal of the voltage source; and a fourth circuit comprising a serial connection of second diode means and a third resistor. One end of the fourth circuit is connected to the third circuit and the other end is connected to the second circuit. The junction between the fourth and second circuits is connected to the other terminal of the voltage source. The third resistor has a resistance value sufficiently great so that the differential voltage between the junction between the first and second circuits and the junction between the third and fourth circuits depends on the source voltage. The differential switching circuit is adapted to change its condition in accordance with the differential voltage between the junction between the first and second circuits and the junction between the third and fourth circuits. The switching circuit has a terminal for outputting the condition thereof. The indicator element is connected to the output terminal to indicate the condition of the differential switching circuit.
