Abstract
An exposure control circuit for a photographic apparatus that senses visible and infrared scene light with separate light sensing photodiodes employs a single integrator and a separate capacitor for the storage of each scene light integration to sequentially integrate the light levels sensed by such diodes in controlling the amount of image-carrying scene light admitted to the film plane of the apparatus through a scanning aperture. By utilizing a single integrator and separate storage capacitors for each light integration for such light control, a considerable amount of valuable space can be saved in, for example, an integrated circuit over a system where multiple integrators are employed for such purposes.
