Abstract
A lens shutter camera includes a movable picture taking lens that can be moved along an optical axis and positioned at a focus setting such that a camera subject is in focus, an adjustable shutter aperture mechanism that controls the amount of ambient light passing through the picture taking lens for producing an exposure, and a drive source that moves the picture taking lens to position the lens at the focus setting; wherein movement of the picture taking lens toward the focus setting position simultaneously adjusts the shutter aperture mechanism to an exposure setting that permits a predetermined amount of ambient light necessary for proper exposure to pass through the lens.
