A motor driven photographing control circuit for a double preference type automatic exposure control camera which is used for continuous photographing with a motor drive device attached thereto. When a sum of the shutter time computed by a shutter time computing circuit and the length of time required for a winding operation become longer than a preset photographing cycle in carrying out such continuous photographing, an alarm is displayed giving a warning that photographing in the preset cycle is not possible. Concurrently with this, a stop preference mode of photographing is shifted to a shutter preference mode and the shutter is controlled to be operated at a preset length of time, so that continuous photographing can be accomplished in a set cycle.
