    Abstract: A camera includes a film cartridge receiving portion having a film cartridge chamber, a battery receiving portion having a battery chamber, a film cartridge chamber cover and a battery chamber cover. The film cartridge chamber has a film cartridge chamber opening formed in a top surface or a bottom surface of the camera body. The battery chamber has a battery chamber opening. The film cartridge chamber opening is shaped to correspond to a transverse cross-section of the film cartridge and the battery chamber opening is shaped to correspond to a longitudinal cross-section of the battery. The film cartridge chamber cover is disposed adjacent the film cartridge chamber opening and pivots to open and close that opening. The battery chamber cover is disposed adjacent the battery chamber opening to open and close the battery chamber opening. As a result, confusion between the film cartridge chamber cover and the battery chamber cover is eliminated.

    Abstract: A display device including a display not enabled condition of a measured value if the measured value is outside the scale range of the display equipment is disclosed. A pointer is driven according to the operation of an operation device during a setting value display mode, while the pointer is driven to a measured value during a measured value display mode. If the measured value is outside the scale range during the measured value display mode, the pointer 65 is driven to the scale position indicating the display not enabled condition.

    Abstract: A camera capable of operating in a red-eye prevention mode. The camera has an electronic flash device which is activated by a drive circuit in synchronization with the exposure. The electronic flash device also serve as a pre-light-emission device capable of performing pre-light-emission for the purpose of preventing red-eye effect. When it is judged from the photographing condition that red-eye effect may to occur, a controller activates the electronic flash device to effect a pre-light-emission for reducing the size of pupils of eyes of a person to be photographed, before the main flashing which is executed in synchronization with the exposure.

    Abstract: When a preparation for photography signal is input from a release switch assembly without said photography command signal being input therefrom, the brightness of an object to be photographed is measured and an exposure value is calculated therefrom, the focus adjustment state of the photographic lens is detected, and these values are displayed. At the time point when this display operation has been completed, if and only if the preparation for photography signal is still being input from the release switch assembly, focus adjustment of the photographic lens is performed based upon the detected focus adjustment state. Further, when the photography command signal is input from the release switch assembly without any substantial time lapse after the preparation for photography signal is input therefrom, the brightness of the object to be photographed is measured and an exposure value is calculated therefrom, the focus adjustment state of the photographic lens is detected, thereafter focus adjustment of the photographic lens is performed, and thereafter exposure of the film is performed according to the exposure value.
