Abstract
In cameras, a magnetic mechanism is used to control various camera operations. In order to reduce current consumption in supplying such magnetic mechanism, the present invention provides an improvement over known designs. The present inventive system for the magnetic mechanism thus presents a second reset member beside the normal reset member for releasing the current supply to the magnetic mechanism. If the current is continued to be supplied to the above mentioned magnetic mechanism by mistake, the above mentioned second reset member interrupts the current supply to the above mentioned magnetic mechanism instead of the normal reset member. In this way, the useless consumption of the battery can be avoided.
