摘要:
The disclosed shutter control circuit presents a shutter time as an analog value and converts the same into a digital value by an A/D converter, then nullifies information below a prescribed step of shutter time out of thus digitally converted value for effecting shutter time control based on a digital value which is above said prescribed step. In such a type of shutter time control circuit, even when an analog value as a preset value contains a certain error, the shutter time control can be done with said error being corrected and thus it is very convenient. In this case, however, an error in a positive direction only can be corrected, and an error in a negative direction can not be corrected. The present invention has been completed in view of the above and is to provide a shutter time control circuit which can correct the above mentioned analog value or A/D converted digital value by a prescribed amount so that errors in both the positive direction and the negative direction can be corrected in the above mentioned type of shutter time control circuit.

A control system for a camera controls a shutter release operation electromagnetically. A signal generating circuit produces a switching signal for operating a switching circuit which supplies current to a control circuit for a camera. The signal generating circuit is in a condition to always produce a switching signal when a camera operation member is set to normal photographing modes other than the bulb photographing mode, and is out of condition to produce the switching signal during the time between actuation of a magnet and termination of the shutter opening operation. The closing operation of the shutter is checked by means of a mechanical control member during the release when the camera operation member is set in the bulb photographing mode.

The disclosed camera power control devices operate with a camera in which a first switch responds to initial movement of a shutter release member, and a second switch responds to further movement of the release member. In the power control device, turning the first switch on energizes the light metering and display circuits, and turning on the second switch supplies an exposure control circuit such as a shutter control circuit with electrical energy. The power control device is provided with an electrical timer circuit, and a selection arrangement operates to selectively actuate the timer circuit when the release member is returned to its rest position and the first switch changes is state from ON to OFF. During a period of time determined by the timer circuit, power continues to be supplied to operate the light metering and display circuits.

A photometric circuit for a camera including a first operational amplifier with a photo-electric element connected between its inverted and non-inverted input terminals and, a logarithmic compression diode connected between the output terminal and the inverted input terminal of the first operational amplifier, thus providing a voltage corresponding to the logarithmic value of the brightness of an object to be photographed at the output terminal of the first operational amplifier.A second operational amplifier has a plurality of temperature compensating commonly polarized diodes connected in parallel between its inverted input terminal and the output terminal. A first constant voltage is applied to the non-inverted input terminal of the second operational amplifier while a second constant voltage is applied through a resistor to the inverted input terminal of the second operatonal amplifier, thereby providing temperature-compensation of the output voltage of said first operational amplifier.

A voltage detecting means is provided in a flash lamp firing circuit for detecting the attainment of the voltage of a storage capacitor to a satisfactory lamp firing voltage level to assure that a photographic camera associated with the flash lighting unit operates in a flash exposure range switched from a daylight exposure range only when a sufficient voltage is available to fire the lamp at the time of striking of the lamp. In one embodiment, the detecting means comprises two transistorized circuits having output terminals one of which is connected to the gate lead of a SCR in a discharge circuit of the lamp, and another output terminal which is arranged to be connectable to a light-emitting diode of the camera and therefrom connected to the gate lead of an electronic change-over switch for selection of the operating ranges of the camera, the light-emitting diode being arranged to be visible from the outside of the camera so that the operator is immediately aware if the storage capacitor voltage has attained the satisfactory firing level.

A camera includes a shutter which is electromagnetically closed at the end of a given exposure time. Circuitry in the camera operates to prevent a prolonged opening of the shutter from occurring when the camera battery voltage drops below a satisfactory operating level during an exposure, wherein the shutter mechanism is forcibly recharged.

In the disclosed device, a signal forming circuit produces a signal having a frequency corresponding to the voltage of a power source. A level detector detects the level of the voltage of the power source and is arranged to produce a signal when the voltage of the power source drops below a predetermined level. A control circuit coupled to the signal forming circuit is arranged to change the frequency of the signal produced by the signal forming circuit in response to the signal produced by the detector. An indicator operates at the frequency of the signal produced by the signal forming circuit. In a specific embodiment, a detector detects whether the voltage of a battery is at and below a first level, between the first level and a second higher level, and at and higher than the second level. A signal former responds to the detector for producing a first signal having a frequency below a first frequency when the voltage is below the second level, a second signal having a frequency twice the first frequency when the voltage is at the second level, and a signal having a frequency higher than the frequency of the second signal when the voltage is above the second level. An indicator responds to the signal former to operate at the frequency of the signal former.
