MOTION PICTURE CAMERA DRIVE MECHANISM

摘要

A motion picture camera drive mechanism includes a single motor which is used for driving (separately or simultaneously) a film pull down mechanism which advances film past an exposure aperture and a mechanism for adjusting at least one lens element in a zoom lens system. When the camera drive mechanism is to be energized, provision is made for first energizing a circuit to an automatic exposure control system and then operating the film pull down mechanism, thereby effecting correct exposure of the first frame of film.
