A lane deviation avoidance system is arranged to execute a lane deviation avoidance control of controlling a vehicle behavior of the host vehicle so as to avoid the host vehicle from deviating from a traveling lane when the lane deviation tendency is detected, to suppress the driving force when the lane deviation tendency is detected, and to set a controlled variable of the lane deviation avoidance control according to a degree of the suppression of the driving force.

An auto focus (AF) circuit includes a high-pass filter and band-pass filter having mutually different frequency characteristics. During contrast AF control prior to an actual shooting, AF evaluation values acquired by using the high-pass filter are used most preferentially in detecting the lens focusing position of a focus lens. In this way, the high-pass filter that emphasizes and extracts high frequency band components, which increase in image data when shooting a typical subject, is set to be used preferentially, thereby making it possible to perform high-precision focusing control with respect to various kinds of subjects.

When an operation such as the operation of the shutter release button or the closing of the cover to the film container compartment is performed, any operation such as charging that was underway is stopped once and checking of the battery voltage level is performed with reference to reference levels, wherein it is determined whether or not any such operation was underway when either of said operations was performed, and if any such operation was underway, that operation is stopped once, and the battery voltage level is checked with reference to reference levels that are reduced by a preset amount. Consequently, an accurate check of the battery voltage level may be performed with regard to the battery voltage that had fallen due to the carrying out of such operation but that is rising to the original voltage level due to that operation being stopped.

A camera that emits auxiliary light for the reduction of the red-eye phenomenon and auxiliary light for distance measurement when the photo object brightness is low using a single light source, wherein when auxiliary light is emitted for distance measurement immediately before a photo is taken, the emission of auxiliary light for the reduction of the red-eye phenomenon is omitted.

A cruise control for a vehicle that detects an inter-vehicle distance to a preceding vehicle. A first vehicle speed instruction value is computed based on the inter-vehicle distance. Curve information of a curve in the road ahead of the vehicle is detected, and a second vehicle speed instruction value is computed for traveling on the curve based on the curve information. A final target vehicle speed is set based on the vehicle speed instruction values. When the vehicle travels through the curve while the first vehicle speed instruction value is larger than the second vehicle speed instruction value, the final target vehicle speed is set to a vehicle speed higher than the second vehicle speed instruction value and lower than the first vehicle speed instruction value. The speed of the vehicle is controlled based on the final target vehicle speed.

An intermediate adapter includes a first terminal operable to be electrically connected to a lens detecting terminal provided on the camera body when the intermediate adapter is attached to the camera body, a second terminal operable to be electrically connected to a terminal provided on the interchangeable lens for providing a ground potential when the interchangeable lens is attached to the intermediate adapter, and a first switch interposed between the first terminal and the second terminal. The first switch is operable to electrically connect the first terminal and the second terminal when the first switch is on, and disconnect the electrical connection between the first terminal and the second terminal when the first switch is off. While the intermediate adapter is being attached to the interchangeable lens, the first switch is off to disconnect the electrical connection between the first terminal and the second terminal.

A detecting mechanism for detecting a position of a zoom lens used in a camera, in which the same signal is output at each of a plurality of locations through which the lens passes, and in which it is possible to execute a resetting operation of the lens with a lesser mechanical load being exerted upon the lens at both ends of a region within which the lens is driven to move. The mechanism includes a position detection switch that outputs signals of "ON" and "OFF" alternately along a direction in which the lens is driven to move. The switch outputs the signal of "ON" when the lens is on one end of the region, and outputs the signal of "OFF" when the lens is on the other end thereof. When the switch is "ON" at time of the resetting operation, the lens is driven towards the other end thereof, and when the switch is "OFF" at time thereof, the lens is driven towards the one end. This mechanism prevents the lens from striking or hitting on each end of the region.

In an apparatus having a film condition judging device which judges a film condition based on data obtained by reading out bar codes of a bar code disk equipped on a film cartridge, wherein the bar code disk is initially stopped at a predetermined rotational position in response to the film condition, signals which are output from a sensor, are detected at plurality of times during a bar code disk rotation, and so inclinations in changes of the sensor's output are detected, thereby an error signal is distinguished from a correct signal according to the inclinations in the changes. Further, a sensor's output as a correct signal is counted, then the used condition of the film is judged based on the counted value of the sensor's output. Thus, even if there occurs an unstable rotation of the bar code disk, which brings the error signal, the film condition can be correctly judged by one sensor.

In a camera having auto program zoom control, eye sensing control is used to determine if an object is adjacent to a viewfinder. The eye sensing control preferably includes a light emitting source and photocell. Light is emitted at first intervals, if no object is detected as being adjacent to the viewfinder, and light is emitted at second shorter intervals, if an object is detected as being adjacent to the viewfinder. Emitting light at different intervals results in conserving electrical energy.
