摘要:
In a camera system including an electronic flash apparatus, a main capacitor of the flash apparatus is charged for a predetermined time interval, in response to a preparatory operation such as a first stroke of a release button. During this time interval, operation of an automatic distance measuring device, an automatic exposure controlling device and an object luminance discriminating circuit is prevented. A warning device warns a photographer that the main capacitor is insufficiently charged. Several voltage detectors detect different voltage levels of the main capacitor and produce detection signals for inhibiting the operation of the warning device and/or preventing further charging of the main capacitor.

There is disclosed a zooming control device for a camera, enabling photographing with a constant magnification of an object, and still avoiding overflowing of an object from the photographed frame in zooming of the lens. The frame is divided into plural areas, and there is discriminated whether an object is present only in the central area, or also in the peripheral area or areas. In the former case the lens is zoomed to achieve a preset image magnification, but, in the latter case, the zooming is limited in order to avoid overflowing of an object from the frame.

A distance-measuring apparatus comprises a first detecting device for detecting a distance to a central portion of an object field corresponding to a photographing frame and generating data corresponding to a detected distance, a second detecting device for detecting distances to a plurality of peripheral portions of the object field except for the central portion and generating data corresponding to detected distances, and an operating device for operating the first and second detecting devices. The oeprating device has a first operation step of operating the first detecting device and a second operation step of operating the second detecting device. The first step is executed to determine the detected distance to the central portion. The execution of the second step depends on the determination result and may produce an average peripheral distance output or a shortest peripheral distance output for driving a phototaking lens. Depending upon the determination result, a central distance output may instead by produced.

The present invention is an apparatus and method to remove delay fluctuations generated on a plurality of networks.A reception apparatus 22 receives ATM cells transmitted through a network 4-1 and a network 4-2, converting the cells into a transport stream. At that time, the reception apparatus 22 expresses a PCR packet's timing of arrival at the reception apparatus 22 by a count value obtained as a result of counting the number of clock pulses (clock pulses Nr) synchronous with a network clock signal of the network 4-2. The reception apparatus 22 also computes a new PCR value W on the basis of the count value and the phase-difference information used as synchronization information. The reception apparatus 22 then computes a new PCR value X on the basis of an original PCR value E recorded from the beginning on the encoding side and the PCR value W, newly recording the PCR value X.

A center core for a disc-shaped recording medium. The center core comprises a flange section for supporting the disc-shaped recording medium. A generally cylindrical section having a bottom wall is formed integral with and located radially inward of the flange section. A plurality of supportable standard sections are formed at the bottom wall of the cylindrical section by making a press working on the bottom wall of the cylindrical section in a manner to project toward the lower surface side of the center core. The supportable standard sections define a supportable surface through which the center core is placed on a turn table of a disc drive device.

A recording medium device adapted so that a recording medium on which information signals are recorded is accommodated. This recording medium device comprises a cartridge body within which the recording medium on which information signals are recorded is accommodated, and an erroneous recording prevention member including a portion of detection detected by a detection mechanism of the recording/reproduction unit side, and attached to the cartridge body so that it can be moved within the range between a first position where the portion of detection is detected by the detection mechanism and a second position where it is not detected by the detection mechanism. This erroneous recording prevention member is attached to the cartridge body so that the portion of detection can be moved within the range between the first position and the second position by holding or clamping a portion of the cartridge body by a holding portion provided at the base end portion side where the portion of detection is provided and inserting an insertion portion provided at the front end side of the holding portion from the external side toward the internal side of the cartridge body.
