Abstract
A device for braking an electric motor as the drive source of an operating mechanism in camera by means of an electrical circuit is disclosed. This circuit includes a detector for levels of the rotation speed of the motor or of factors of influencing the rotation speed sensed when the motor is supplied with current flowing in a direction to activate the operating mechanism, and control means responsive to the output of the detector for altering the time for which a current flow of reversed direction is supplied to brake the motor.
