Abstract: A camera with a built-in electronic flash has a spring-driven high energy lever that is pivoted for initiating shutter opening and for translating a switch closing member to close a normally open shutter-flash synchronization switch. When the switch reopens, it translates the switch closing member in reverse. Then, during film winding a metering cam is rotated to pivot the high energy lever in reverse. The switch closing member is adapted to be pivoted temporarily of the way of the high energy lever to allow the high energy lever to be returned past the switch closing member to an original or home position.

Abstract: A camera and method automatically exclude electronic images corresponding to film images in a loaded film unit from first in-first out overwriting. In the method, a set of latent images are captured in the camera. A first subset of electronic images that correspond to the latent images are captured, during the capturing of the latent images. A second subset of electronic images are captured independent of the capturing of the latent images. The memory of the camera is filled to capacity with a plurality of the electronic images. After the memory is filled, the electronic images of the second subset in the memory are replaced on a first in-first out basis and the electronic images of the first subset are retained in the memory.

Abstract: The present invention provides a chemically modified Progenipoietins (ProGPs) prepared by binding a water soluble polymer to the protein. The chemically-modified protein according to the present invention may have a much longer lasting neutrophil-increasing activity than that of the un-modified ProGP, enabling reduced dose and scheduling opportunities.

Abstract: A camera for successively capturing images of subjects, has a print quantity selector that can be manually operated to provide various print quantity designations of the number of prints to be made for each one of the captured images. A print reset can be manually operated to change the print quantity designations used for the captured images simultaneously to the same print quantity designation. A print quantity totaller is connected to the print quantity selector and to the print reset for updating a print quantity total which is the sum of the number of prints to be made for the captured images, both when the print quantity selector is used and when the print reset is used.

Abstract: A method demonstrates a film-unloaded verifying camera in response to shutter button actuation. In the method, an electronic image is captured and the electronic image is shown to the user along with an indicator that film is not loaded. The film shutter can optionally be fired to provide a more complete experience of camera use. A camera provides these features.
