PHOTOGRAPHIC CONTROL SYSTEM AND APPARATUS HAVING SELF-MONITORING FEATURES

摘要

Photographic system and apparatus in the form of a highly automated reflex camera is described. The camera incorporates a multi-gate control circuit operating the components thereof through the operational phases in the course of a single photographic cycle. In the course of each such cycle, phase changes are monitored by transducers acting as an electrical-mechanical interface within the system. The camera also features an automatic circuit reset operation in the event of a cycle malfunction.
