Safety device for an exposure amount control equipment

摘要

The present invention relates to a safety device for exposure amount control equipment consisting of a camera and an electronic flash device, including a detecting circuit for detecting the charge voltage of the storage capacitor of the electronic flash device and the voltage of the power source and producing two different electrical signals in accordance with the detected voltages so as to prevent flash light photography with improper exposure amount and a lock member for preventing the movement of a shutter release mechanism of the camera in accordance with the electrical signal produced in the detecting circuit when the detected voltages are lower than a certain determined value.
