1,147,003. Photo-metric apparatus. INTERNATIONAL POLAROID CORP. Dec.13, 1966 [Dec. 27, 1965], No. 55843/66.. Heading G1P. [Also in Division G2] Photo-metric apparatus, which may be used in or with a camera, contains a means for selecting a photo-metric value and an indicator system providing a positive signal when the selected value corresponds with that of the brightness of the field of illumination viewed and no signal when no correspondence is obtained. Light from the field viewed enters via aperture 54 Fig. 1, passes through variable density filter 60 and strikes photo-conductor 44. When the correct stop is selected on scale 64, the filter 60 allows sufficient light to reach photo-conductor 44 so that its resistance is such that transistors Q1 and Q2 switch so that lamp 20 is illuminated and an affirmative signal appears on the half-silvered mirror 76 in the view-finder 74. When the incorrect stop is selected on scale 64, no signal is obtained. The embodiment illustrated assumes a fixed film speed and a fixed shutter speed. Figs.2, 3 and 4 (not shown) illustrate alternative circuits. The apparatus may be coupled to a camera diaphragm via rack 70 and pinion 72, or to a variable speed shutter or to a shutter and a diaphragm. The disc filter 60 may be replaced by a linearly movable filter or optical wedge or by a diaphragm, or the variable filter may be dispensed with altogether and a potentiometer inserted in the circuit and used to vary the apportionment of voltage. Figure 2 chows a circuit involving a transducer e. g. earphones to give an audible instead of a visual signal. |
