DATA IMPRINTING DEVICE OF CAMERA

摘要

PURPOSE:To necessitate small required current by starting a data imprinting light source in correspondence to the preliminary movement of a taking lens from the start position as its movement is started by shutter release operation. CONSTITUTION:Ordinary operation of an automatic focus control mechanism to be made before shutter opening and closing, particularly the preliminary operation continuous to the ordinary focus control operation of a photographic lens 1 is effected so that the preliminary operation is accomplished without fail prior to ordinary focus controlling of the automtic focus control mechanism and irrespective of subject distances. The data imprinting of a data imprinting light source lamp 150 or the like is started by the signal corresponding to the preliminary operation emitted from a lens position signal generating means 14 responding to the operation of the taking lens 1. As a result, no specific imprinting input part is required.
