Abstract: A camera system comprising an operation means for operating a film feeding part of a film cartridge. The operating means winds the film by feeding it out from the film cartridge, or it rewinds the film into the film cartridge. The camera system also has a drive force generating means for generating a drive force. The drive force is transmitted by both a first drive force transmitting means and a second drive force transmitting means. The first drive force transmitting means causes the operation means to drive the film in a winding direction. The second drive force transmitting means causes the film to be driven in the rewinding direction, where both drive forces are applied to the operation means.

Abstract: A print control apparatus in a camera includes a camera provided with setting means for setting multiple printing information and recording means for recording the multiple printing information set by the setting means, or a printing apparatus provided with reading means for reading the multiple printing information recorded by the recording means and control means for effecting multiple printing in conformity with the multiple printing information read by the reading means.

Abstract: A photographic information input device for a camera in which a correction effectiveness variable switch for controlling the effectiveness-ineffectiveness of a correction switch of photographic information is provided in a lidded recess of the camera body. When this recess is closed, the correction effectiveness variable switch is made not operable. With the lid opened, when the correction effectiveness variable switch is operated, the effective state of the correction switch is latched, later making it possible to correct the photographic information merely by operating the correction switch. Further, when the lid is closed, the correction switch is automatically changed over to the ineffective state.

Abstract: An electrically-driven camera performing film winding and rewinding with a motor is arranged to automatically perform a film rewinding operation after finishing an unfinished charging portion of a film winding and shutter charging process in carrying out the film rewinding operation when a roll of film comes to the end thereof halfway in the winding and charging process.

Abstract: A camera of multi-mode versatility provided with an automatic focus control device operating with manual selection of servo and one-shot modes in combination with a coordinating system responsive to the setting of either the shutter speed priority or the shutter speed leading programmed automatic exposure mode for automatically operating the focus control device in the servo mode and responsive to setting either the aperture priority or the aperture leading programmed automatic exposure mode for operating the focus control device in the one-shot mode.

Abstract: In an electric motor drive device for a camera having first and second one-way clutches arranged to transmit a driving force either to a film winding transmission member or to a film rewinding transmission member by a change-over operation on the rotation of a driving motor between normal and reverse rotating directions, a charge cam provided between the first one-way clutch which transmits a driving force of the rotation of the motor in the normal direction to the film winding transmission member and the winding transmission member is arranged to rotate together therewith. The charge of a charge mechanism disposed within the motor drive device resulting from the rotation of the charge cam is arranged to be effected approximately in phase with the charge of a charge mechanism which is disposed within the camera and is arranged to be driven by the winding transmission member.

Abstract: In the disclosed camera system, a camera is attachable to a motor drive unit and a flash unit. In the camera, a detector produces a first signal before wind-up of the camera is completed. An interconnection terminal receives a second signal from the flash unit before charging of the flash unit is completed. A disabling arrangement prevents shutter release as long as it senses one of the first and second signals.

Abstract: In the disclosed camera system, a spring arrangement to drive an automatic exposure mechanism of a camera and a magnet arrangement to control starting and stopping of the AE mechanism of the camera are provided within an electric drive device, and the automatic exposure control of the camera is carried out by mounting the electric drive device on the camera. Facilities, when energized by a power supply, are set to supply driving power to a motor for cocking the shutter, and an arrangement supplies power from the power source to the magnet arrangement for actuating the magnet arrangement. The present invention eliminates disadvantages of prior camera systems, namely, inferior response characteristic of the magnet and erroneous operations by the release action, and a large number of connecting terminals.

Abstract: In the disclosed system a camera includes an electro-magnetic release circuit which when operated starts an exposure. A motor-drive includes a drive circuit for winding and rewinding film. The electro-magnetic release circuit is disabled during the film rewind operation to prevent the effect of accidental release.

Abstract: An electric motor drive device for a camera has at least two sets of gear trains of different gear ratios for transmitting the driving force of a motor to the winding mechanism of a camera and a change-over mechanism for automatically selecting the most suitable gear train out of these gear trains depending on the condition of batteries attached to the electric motor drive device, so that the driving force of the motor can be transmitted to the winding mechanism through the gear train most suited to the condition of the motor.

Abstract: In the disclosed motor driven camera, a motor drive is removably attached to a camera body and includes a grip which is fitted to the camera body. Separate switches respond to separate operating members on the upper surface of the grip and the side face of the drive device. A terminal on the camera body provides a signal to a control device and a second terminal on the motor drive connects electrically to the first terminal when the motor drive is attached to the camera body so as to furnish a signal, corresponding to the switching action of either of the switches, to the control circuit. The operational positions of the first and second release switches facilitate camera release in either the horizontal or vertical positions of the camera.

Abstract: An electric motor drive device for a camera is arranged such that, in cases where power supply to a film winding motor is stopped with the camera still in an incomplete winding state and when the film comes to the end thereof after completion of a photographic operation on every frame, the power supply to the motor is resumed in response to a film rewinding completion signal produced from a film detection switch upon completion of film rewinding so that the camera can be brought into a winding completion state. This arrangement solves the problem of phase discrepancy arising between the camera body and the electric motor drive device when they are separated from each other.

Abstract: A motor driven rewind device for a camera operating in such a manner that an actuation of a rewind control member initiates an energization of an electric motor, and driving torque of this motor brings a rewind shaft into operative connection with a spool shaft of the film patrone so that a film rewinding operation is initiated, wherein the rewind control member is made lockable in each operative position, and a compressed spring is provided between a rewind coupler engaging the aforesaid spool shaft and the aforesaid rewind shaft receptive of the driving torque of the motor to exert an absorbing action in the rotative and axial directions of said coupler, whereby the film rewind control is made more reliable.

Abstract: A camera mechanism is stopped from further movement at an adjusted position by an arresting member. The operation of the arresting member is controlled as a control member therefor is driven by an electromagnetic drive source. When the mechanism is rendered inoperative, the arresting member is held stationary by a prohibiting member. At the same time when an operation of the mechanism is initiated by an actuating member, motion of the actuating member also serves to take the prohibiting member out of connection with the arresting member. Then, upon driving the control member to move, the operation of the mechanism is terminated by the arresting member.
