    摘要: A circuit for detecting back light comprises a time constant circuit including a capacitor selectively connectable in series with either a resistive element, or one of two CdS photoconductive elements used to measure the central and surrounding portions, respectively, of an object being photographed. Three switches separately conect the resistive element and the two photoconductive elements in series with the capacitor. A circuit generates pulses for a length of time governed by a time constant determined by the time constant circuit, and three separate counters store the pulses the number of which is determined by the time constant. An arithmetic circuit processes the pulses stored in the counters to determine the amount of back light present on the object.

    摘要: A photometric circuit comprises a switching circuit which causes a photo conductive element which responds to the luminance of an object of measurement to be selectively connected with an oscillation circuit so that the photo conductive element functions as a frequency determining element and a frequency ratio calculating circuit which calculates a ratio of the oscillation frequency obtained when the photo conductive element is in connection with the oscillation circuit to the oscillation frequency obtained when the photo conductive element is not connected with the oscillation circuit. Thus, it is possible to reduce the required capacitance of the capacitor operating as a frequency determining element, lower the voltage required to drive the circuit and yet achieve high measuring accuracy.

    摘要: A camera has a shutter device driveable to undergo opening movement to open an aperture to effect exposure operation according to a given exposure value, and a motor actuatable to rotate at an unstable rotational speed for driving the shutter device. A detector operates after the motor starts rotating and before the shutter device undergoes its opening movement for detecting the rotational speed of the motor. A controller adjusts the shutter device in accordance with the detected rotational speed of the motor to thereby enable the shutter device to effect the exposure operation so as to accurately achieve the given exposure value.

    摘要: A camera has a back cover movable between a closed state and an open state to enable a film case to be installed in and removed from the camera. A detector detects the transition of the cover between the closed state and the open state. A data register stores control data, and a control circuit receives the control data from the data register for controlling operation of the camera. The control data is transferred temporarily from the data register to an EEPROM when the back cover makes the transition from the closed state to the open state. The control data is then transferred back from the EEPROM to the data register when the back cover makes the transition from the open state to the closed state. By temporarily storing the control data in an EEPROM when the back cover is open, and transferring the control data from the EEPROM back to the data register when the back cover is closed, the adverse effects of static electricity, external noise or resetting of the control circuit are prevented from disrupting the operation of the camera.

    摘要: In a power supply control circuit for a display of a camera, when an operation signal is input, a control circuit determines that an operation mode exists and activates a boosting circuit and a voltage dividing circuit. The control circuit activates a power supply switching circuit to switch the power supply for a display unit driving circuit to the output of the voltage dividing circuit. In response to the input operation signal, the control circuit executes such processes as photographing, film rewinding and/or film loading by the operation of the rear lid switch, etc. Upon completion of the operation, the control circuit sets the mode to a waiting mode, and monitors the detection output of a battery voltage detecting circuit. If the voltage of the battery exceeds a predetermined voltage stored in the ROM in the control circuit, the control circuit determines that the battery voltage has been restored, and applies a power supply switching signal to a power supply switching circuit, so that the power supply for the display unit driving circuit is switched to the battery and the boosting circuit and the converting circuit are both deactivated

    摘要: In a step-up circuit for causing the emission of light of a distance measuring light emitting element, the step-up circuit outputs a step-up voltage from one terminal of a step-up capacitor. A step-up voltage level changeover circuit applies a step-up voltage to the capacitor every time the distance measuring light emitting element emits light that is higher than the step-up voltage in the normal state. The number of parts is reduced by eliminating a separate capacitor for light emission, the space for the circuit is reduced by using the capacitor having a small capacity, the soldering steps for fabrication of the circuit are automated; and the costs for assembly are ameliorated owing to the automation.

    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.
