摘要： A distance measuring device may be constructed utilizing a reduced number of components by calculating distance on the basis of the duration of an integration. Pulsed light is projected toward an object. A selecting circuit selectively outputs one of a pair of output voltages from two current-voltage converting circuits, each of which is connected to a position sensitive device which is configured to receive light reflected from the object. A variable-gain amplifying circuit is used for amplifying the selected output voltage and for producing an amplified output voltage. The output voltage of the amplifying circuit is integrated by an integrating circuit. Reference voltage generating circuitry generates two reference voltages having different levels and a comparing circuit compares the output voltage of the integrating circuit with one of a pair of reference voltages. Gain selecting circuitry is used for determining the gain of the variable-gain amplifying circuit on the basis of the output result of the comparing circuit. The distance to the object is determined in accordance with the duration of time that integration is performed by the integrating circuit until the integrated output voltage exceeds one of the reference voltages. Thus, distance may be determined in accordance with the magnitude of the integrated output voltage, the number of times integration is performed or the number of light projections performed by the device.

摘要： A camera powered by a battery has a first memory area for storing first data used in operating the camera and for retaining the first data irrespective of a power source interruption in the camera, and a second memory area powered by the battery for storing second data which is dependent upon the first data. A power interruption in the camera, such as occurs when the battery is exhausted or replaced, is detected by comparing the first data stored in the first memory area with the second data stored in the second memory area. After detection of a power interruption, the camera is initialized and the first data stored in the first memory area is then copied into the second memory area. Since the first memory area and the second memory area are compared each time the camera is activated, the state of the battery can be reliably checked.

摘要： An apparatus for inserting date information into given positions within the frames of film loaded in a camera. If it is impossible to modify the date, or if the user finds that the date is erroneous, the apparatus permits photographs with correct date to be printed. The apparatus has a CPU including a first RAM for storing the present date information. When frames of the film are used for photography, date information is inserted into the given positions, using a date information inserting LED array. When the present date information is modified by operating date switches, the difference between unmodified date information and modified date information is calculated and stored in a second RAM. The number of frames is also stored. When the film is rewound, the aforementioned difference and the number of frames are read out and inserted in the leader of the film. When the film used for photography in this way is printed, the date information, the difference, and the number of frames are checked. With respect to frames having frame numbers preceding the frame having a frame number equal to the above-described number of frames, i.e., frames used for photography before modification of the date information, the above-described difference is added to the date information. As a result, the frames can be printed with correct date information.

摘要： A shutter control device for a camera includes a control arrangement for controlling the opening and closing of the shutter as a function of an exposure value and a diaphragm value. The control arrangement stores values corresponding to a predetermined diaphragm setting, and employs the parameters of the predetermined setting and the exposure value and diaphragm value in order to determine the opening time of the shutter. In another arrangement, the control arrangement determines the effective exposure time as a function of the brightness of the object, distance to the object and a diaphragm, and employs this effective exposure time and a stored correction factor to determine the actual exposure time.
