Abstract
In an exposure indicator device in a single lens reflex camera with a TTL exposure meter contained therein which comprises shutter means extraneously operable for displacement between a position in which it closes the opening of an eyepiece mask to intercept light passed through the finder eyepiece portion into the interior of the finder and a position in which it is retracted from the first-named position, first indicator means for effecting exposure indication within the view field of the finder, and second indicator means for effecting exposure indication outside the view field of the finder, change-over means is operatively associated with the shutter means to cause only the first indicator means to effect the exposure indication when the shutter means is in the retracted position and to cause only the second indicator means to effect the exposure indication when the shutter means is in the light-intercepting position.
