    Abstract: In an electrical exposure control device for use with reflex type photographic cameras, the voltage stored in a storage device is accurately retained after the light has been detected by a light receptive element and prior to the use of the stored voltage for purposes of exposure control by structure which ensures that the required switching of the stored voltage is coincidentally timed with the actual movement of the shutter mechanism to initiate an exposure, thereby eliminating unwanted decay between operation of a change-over switch and actual movement of the shutter mechanism.

    Abstract: First and second output voltages are generated respectively in accordance with the logarithm of the intensity of light and as a function of a manually set exposure condition. A control signal to initiate shutter closing is generated when a signal which changes in proportion to the logarithm of an elapsed time period initiated by shutter release operation plus the second output voltage is substantially equal to the first output voltage. The control device includes a circuit for comparing the voltages. The device may be modified to generate a third output voltage which changes in response to the change of the signal and then comparing the first output voltage with the second plus the third output voltage.

    Abstract: Switching mechanism in an exposure control device for a photoconductive camera reduces unnecessary battery consumption by disconnecting the power source from a light measuring circuit and a mechanism for actuating shutter closing during those times when either the output of the light measuring circuit and/or the actuation of the shutter are not required. Manually operative individual switches respectively interconnect the light measuring circuit and the shutter actuation mechanism with the power source. A button switch movable between first and second positions engages with a locking member to prevent actuation of the shutter release button to prevent interconnection of the shutter actuating mechanism with the power source when an exposure time setting member is set to an automatic exposure position and the button switch is in the first position for opening the switch interconnecting the light measuring circuit with the battery source. Rotation of the exposure time setting member to any one of a number of positions rotates the locking member enabling the release button to be depressed and the interconnection of the shutter actuating mechanism with the battery source.
