摘要:
A camera has an exposure device for effecting a photographing operation on a film in response to manipulation of a member, and a self-timer for causing the exposure device to effect the photographing operation after the counting of a predetermined time. The self-timer has a first state for causing the exposure device to effect the photographing operation only once and a second state for causing the exposure device to effect the photographing operation plural times. The camera comprises a first display for indicating that the self-timer is in an operable state, a second display for indicating that the exposure device functions plural times in response to the manipulation of the member, independently of the self-timer, and a control device for controlling the first and second displays. The control device is adapted to only activate the first display in the first state of the self-timer and to activate both the first and second display in the second state of the self-timer.

A camera capable of trimming photographing has an electric-powered zoom lens, an operating device for zooming the electric-powered zoom lens, a trimming photographing device for obtaining a pseudo zoomed-up photography by partially trimming a photographed picture at a trimming magnification .beta. which can be previously set, and a control device which sets the trimming magnification .beta. of the trimming photographing device to a maximum trimming magnification .beta.max if the operating device is moved to the zoom-up side when the electric-powered zoom lens is at the position of a maximum focal length FT, which zooms down the electric-powered zoom lens while maintaining the maximum trimming magnification .beta.max if the operating device is thereafter operated to the zoom-down side, and which changes the trimming magnification .beta. of the trimming photographing device from the maximum trimming magnification .beta.max to 1 if the operating device is further operated to the zoom-down side when the electric-powered zoom lens is at the position of a minimum focal length FW.
摘要:
A display apparatus in a camera for displaying photographic information using rotating elements. The display apparatus includes a rotating setting dial to rotatively set photographic information, and a display unit including pointers and pointer scales to display the photographic information set by the rotating setting dial. The pointer rotates about a fixed pointer scale in order to indicate photographic information on the pointer scale as set by the rotating setting dial. The display apparatus further includes a detector to detect a direction of rotation of the rotating setting dial, a drive unit to rotate the pointer, and a control unit to control the drive unit to rotate the pointer in the same direction as the direction of the rotating setting dial detected by the detector. In addition, the display unit may include at least one pointer which is controlled by a stepping motor to rotate the pointer in only one direction, regardless of the direction of rotation of the rotating setting dial.

This display system for a camera includes a plurality of display devices which mutually differ with regard to their display delay time periods as taken from when the information which they are to display is input to them until this information is actually displayed by them, and a controller which outputs information to be displayed to this plurality of display devices sequentially in ascending order of their display delay time periods.
摘要:
A display device of a camera automatically switches from a date display mode to a time display mode for a predetermined amount of time in a case when the photographer inputs exposure correction information, such as geographic area information, which involves a correction to account for time change with no change of data. The photographer may thus readily confirm that the time change correction has been made. The order of arrangement of the month, day, and year in the date display mode may be selected automatically according to the geographic area to conform with prevailing custom. The device may incorporate a correction feature to account for daylight saving time and may display a correction code corresponding to the geographic area and a mark indicating that daylight saving time has been selected.
摘要:
A camera display device includes a display unit which is selectively illuminated during camera operation. The display unit displays information to the photographer such as photometry and rangefinding information. A mode selector switch selects a camera operating mode from a plurality of operating modes and a camera instruction unit outputs an illumination instruction to an illumination light to thereby illuminate the display unit. A timer determines a time period for illumination of the display unit while a control unit continues the illumination of the display unit during a predetermined continuation time period in response to the illumination instruction from the camera instruction unit. The control unit also continues the illumination of the display unit until an end of the camera operating mode selected by the mode selector switch. The operating mode selected by the mode selector switch includes a long exposure mode which continues an exposure longer than the predetermined time of the illumination continuation unit, a bulb exposure mode which continues an exposure for a predetermined period of time beginning from the receipt of a signal from a camera release member, and a time exposure mode which continues an exposure for a predetermined period of time beginning from the receipt of a signal from the camera release member.
摘要:
A camera having a built-in first flash light emitting unit located directly above a photographic lens on the front surface of the camera body, and a second flash light emitting unit located at an upper corner of the front face of the camera body. The camera has autofocus capabilities, and reduces shadows created during close-up photography and reduces the "red eye" phenomenon created during far away photography through the control of each of the two flash light emitting units.

There is disclosed an exposure control apparatus for a camera, enabling appropriate exposure control for varied photographing situations. The apparatus determines the optimum exposure value, referring to various conditions including the season and time of photographing, photographing location, sunrise/sunset times and so on.
摘要:
A camera which switches between illuminating an external display and illuminating an internal display based on a specific photographic event, such as the pressing of the release button. The camera includes a first display, a first display illumination device which illuminates the first display, a second display, a second display illumination device which illuminates the second display, a control mechanism for controlling the first display illumination device and the second display illumination device so that the first display illumination device is not illuminating the first display when the second display illumination device is illuminating the second display and so that the second display illumination device is not illuminating the second display when the first display illumination device is illuminating the first display.
摘要:
A camera records exposure correction information on a recording medium such as a film. The exposure correction information may be based on calendar information, including date information and time information, and geographic information corresponding to the geographic location of the camera. A printing device effects exposure correction based on the recorded information during printing, thereby obtaining a properly exposed print. In a case when the camera itself effects exposure correction, the camera records exposure correction prohibiting information to prohibit exposure correction from being effected by the printing device.
