Abstract
A projector with two levels of illumination for projecting images from a film transparency is disclosed. Monitoring circuitry configures the level projector for the appropriate lead of illumination depending upon an operator request for preview illumination or a heightened level of illumination for exposure of a photograph of a composite optical image including the projected image. The monitoring circuitry also prevents excessive duration of illumination at the preview level.
