A diaphragm control apparatus for camera comprises a correcting circuit for correcting error in aperture stopping-down caused by a time lag from the generation of a signal for blocking the aperture stopping-down motion to the actuation of a blocking device in response to the signal.

Diaphragm control apparatus for camera

In a photographic camera comprising an exposure time control circuit for controlling the shutter speed in response to the brightness of the object and a film frame number indicating device capable of indicating a usable range for frames allowing photographing operation and a non-usable range for frames not allowing photographing operation, wherein the shutter being controlled to a shutter speed independent from the shutter speed determined by said exposure time control circuit when said indicating device indicates said non-usable range, an improvement comprises a second exposure time control circuit for controlling the shutter with a shutter speed suitable for flash photographing and switch means for selecting the shutter speed control by the aforementioned exposure time control circuit or by said second exposure time control circuit in response to the indication of said indicating device in such a manner that the shutter is controlled by the shutter speed determined by said second exposure time control circuit when said indicating device indicates said non-usable range.

Shutter time adjustment for a flash mode and/or film-leader location

An alarm device control system in a camera having a metering device for measuring the brightness of an object and generating an output corresponding to a proper exposure value, and an alarm device for receiving the output of the metering device as input and giving an alarm when the proper exposure value does not satisfy predetermined photographing conditions. The system comprises switch means adapted to become operative in response to operation of a shutter release member, and a preparatory power source device for maintaining the metering device operative for a predetermined time after the switch means has become inoperative.

Alarm device control system in a camera

An alarm device in a camera comprises a shutter speed manual/auto change-over dial having a first Auto position and a second Auto position, and alarm sound generating circuit operatively associated with the change-over dial so as to become operative in the first Auto position and to become non-operative in the second Auto position, and means for visually displaying the sound alarm non-operation condition which is operatively associated with the change-over dial so as to become non-operative in the first Auto position and to become operative in the second Auto position.
