Abstract: An object image is formed on a screen by an objective lens. The light beam from the object image formed on the screen is guided in a direction to an eye piece by a pentagonal roof prism. Only one light measuring means is provided facing an upper part of the exit face of the pentagonal roof prism. Therefore, the light beam from the screen passing through the upper part of the pentagonal roof prism impinges into the light measuring means. Also the light beam from the screen passing through both left and right end parts of the exit face of the pentagonal roof prism is directed onto the light-measuring means through a reflective plane. A shutter means is provided at least for one of the luminous flux from the upper part of the pentagonal roof prism and the luminous flux from the both left and right end parts. The light measurement distribution in an object scene may be varied by the shutter means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an exposure control apparatus for a camera which is so designed that the output terminal of the light measuring circuit of the brightness of the object to be photographed having a photo electric transducing means is connected to one input terminal of an operation amplifier. The output of the photographing information setting circuit, having a variable resistance means for setting other photographing informations than the information of the brightness of the object to be photographed, is connected to the other input terminal of the above mentioned operation amplifier. This is done in such a manner that proper exposure conditions can be obtained by means of the output of the exposure control circuit connected to the output of the above mentioned operation amplifier. Each input signal to the operational amplifier is adjusted by a bias signal which is controlled in accordance with ambient temperature conditions.

Abstract: A single lens reflex camera, for use with a miniature film cartridge, has a follower shutter blade located behind the taking lens and a reflecting mirror serving also as a leading shutter blade co-operating with the follower shutter blade, is mouned obliquely in the recessed portion between the two film chambers of a film cartridge located behind the follower shutter blade. A focusing plate is provided the path of light rays reflected by the reflecting mirror at a position which is conjugate with respect to the film plane of the cartridge.
