Abstract
A conventional stroboscope circuit in use for a film camera has encountered with problems that charging of a main capacitor is incapable when other functions of the camera are operated and that a charging operation is delayed. To solve aforesaid problems, the present invention is to charge the capacitor C1 for a flashlight illumination by a use of a stroboscope charging circuit 1. During that, a usual charging operation is performed by feeding a higher current which flows through a transistor Q1, in a manner wherein a control signal CTL is switched to an H (a high) level status. When the other functions of the camera are operated on the contrary, the charging is performed by feeding a lower current which flows through a resistor R1, wherein the control signal CTL is switched to an L (a low) level status.
