Abstract: The digital shutter control circuit comprises a reference clock pulse generating circuit, a binary counter circuit having a plurality of output stages each issuing, upon counting the pulses from the reference pulse generating circuit, output signals corresponding to the exposure time to be set in the shutter in terms of 2.sup.n where n is an integer and a selector circuit connected to the shutter closing means and selectively connectable to any of the output stages. The binary counter circuit is actuated simultaneously with the actuation of the shutter opening means for opening the shutter so that the shutter closing means is actuated when the output signal is issued from the output stage to which the selector circuit is connected thereby closing the shutter to provide the selected shutter speed.

Abstract: A shutter driving circuit including a voltage judging circuit and indicating circuit in order to always properly make shutter opening and closing operations, whereby an electric current is prevented from flowing to driving coils and such state can be indicated by the indicating circuit when the voltage of a current source for feeding a current to a pair of driving coils to be made to make opening and closing motions of the shutter by the voltage judging circuit is below a predetermined value.

Abstract: An exposure controlling circuit for electric shutters incorporating therein a voltage drop detecting circuit which will issue a signal for passing a current to a coil for closing a shutter when a current source voltage becomes lower than a predetermined voltage in order to prevent the shutter closing motion from being made unable to be made by the drop of the current source voltage after the shutter is opened. This controlling circuit further includes a driving circuit for making an indication within the field of vision of the view finder of a photographic camera when a signal is issued from the voltage drop detecting circuit.

Abstract: A controlling circuit for electric shutters wherein, in an electric shutter adapted to start a shutter closing moton by energizing a driving coil with a discharge current from a capacitor, the capacitor is made to be discharged by a voltage drop detecting circuit provided so that the shutter may be positively closed even in case a current source switch is opened by an unexpected accident in the course of an exposure controlling operation.

Abstract: A device is provided for indicating fading operation in cinecamera. A control circuit receives the scene light indicating voltage and a manually adjusted output voltage for operating a diaphragm driving means to adjust the aperture to a proper value for the scene brightness an RC circuit is connected to the diaphragm control circuit which selectively applys either a constant charging or discharging voltage to the diaphragm control circuit, this causes the control circuit to drive the diaphragm to continuously vary the aperture for effecting the fading-out and the fading-in of the scene. A first comparator receives the output voltage of the RC circuit and the output voltage of the diaphragm control circuit and produces a signal when both voltages are coincident.
