摘要:
This specification discloses an indicator device within the viewfinder of a camera for indicating a predetermined range substantially centrally of the viewfinder field frame. The indicator device comprises at least one electro-optical element for indicating the predetermined range, the optical characteristic of the electro-optical element being variable by an electrical signal information, an information circuit for putting out photographing information, and a control circuit for producing an electrical signal information corresponding to the output of the information circuit and varying the optical characteristic of the electro-optical element.

A camera includes a film strip protection system disposed within a film cartridge compartment. A film strip is maintained by a film cartridge. The film strip and the film cartridge are movable within the film cartridge compartment. The camera further includes a film strip guide unit for guiding the film strip when it extends from the film cartridge. The film strip protection system is configured to restrict the movement of the film strip to prevent the film strip from being damaged by the film strip guide unit.
摘要:
A camera capable of operating in a red-eye prevention mode. The camera has an electronic flash device which is activated by a drive circuit in synchronization with the exposure. The electronic flash device also serve as a pre-light-emission device capable of performing pre-light-emission for the purpose of preventing red-eye effect. When it is judged from the photographing condition that red-eye effect may occur, a controller activates the electronic flash device to effect a pre-light-emission for reducing the size of pupils of eyes of a person to be photographed, before the main flashing which is executed in synchronization with the exposure.

A display and method for selecting a control mode or an operational parameter of a camera utilizes a display screen located laterally adjacent a plurality of switches on the camera. During a first display condition, a plurality of control mode symbols are displayed on the display screen, each control mode symbol appearing adjacent a corresponding switch. Indicators on the display screen indicate which of the plurality of switches may by operated to select each control mode. During a second display condition, at least one operational parameter is displayed on the display screen. The indicators indicate which of the switches correspond to each displayed opertional parameter, and which of the switches to operate to change the displayed operational parameter. The indicators may also indicate how the displayed operational parameter will change upon operation of each of the switches.

A camera has a control device (MCU) for controlling magnetic recording of photographing data in units of photographing frames stored upon photographing onto the corresponding photographing frames on the film upon film rewinding. The camera has a photographable frame number detection device for detecting the number of photographable frames of the film from an information device provided to a film cartridge, and a film counter device for incrementing the count number every time one frame is photographed. Also, the camera has a film end detection device for detecting the film end, and a comparison device for comparing the number of photographable frames detected by the photographable frame number detection device with the count number of the film counter device when the film end detection device detects the film end. Furthermore, the camera has an alarm display device (DSP) for producing an alarm indicating errors in magnetic recording when the comparison device detects a non-coincidence between the two values. With this arrangement, a problem posed upon magnetically recording the photographing data during film rewinding when the film counter has caused errors during film forwarding can be solved, and an alarm display can be performed for the photographer.

摘要:
A camera is provided so that an inexperienced photographer is able to see the data easily regarding the necessary parameter for setting, and furthermore, the setting input operation of that parameter can be accomplished easily. The camera has a display that offers a selection of parameters and a display that verifies the parameter selected. The display showing the selected parameter is easily returned to the original selection display. Two operating modes are provided, a simple mode and an advanced mode. In the simple mode, an automatic preprogrammed mode may be selected at any time by continuously depressing a menu switch. In the advanced mode, continuous depression of the menu switch allows a user to automatically use a prestored favorite mode or the previously selected mode. Thus, operation is easy and selections are quickly executed.

A camera system includes a camera body, an interchangeable lens mountable on the camera body and outputting a discrimination signal, and an intermediate barrel mountable between the interchangeable lens and the camera body. The intermediate barrel has memory means storing therein a plurality of information data regarding the optical characteristic, selector means responsive to the discrimination signal to select one of the plurality of information data from among the plurality of information data, and output means for outputting an information signal conforming to the selected one of said plurality of information data to the camera body. The camera body effects a calculation process on the basis of the information signal.
摘要:
A photographing information setting apparatus for a camera has a capability of improving the operativity in setting photographing information by displaying all of the photographing information or a part thereof contained in a photographing information group when such a group is selected by an information group selecting device. In selecting photographing information, a photographing information group containing exposing modes, shutter speeds, and others is selected by the information group selecting device and at least two pieces of photographing information contained in this photographing information group are displayed in a display. For example, when a photographing information group regarding exposing modes is selected, the exposing modes PM, P, S, A and M are displayed in the display. Then, when a photographing information is further set by an information setting device from the selected photographing information group, such a photographing information is displayed in the display in a state where this information is distinguished from the other pieces of photographing information. In other words, the standard automatic exposing mode P is displayed in the display in such a manner if it is set, for example.
