ABSTRACT:
A photographic system for minimizing exposure tracking error under flash illumination using a low-cost camera in which an automatic shutter system constitutes the sole control of exposure illumination passed to the film. The source of flash illumination is a low-cost filament vaporizable flash bulb in which the effective burn time is increased without change in total illumination energy to the maximum interval of exposure time compatible with hand-held camera operation. The reduced maximum intensity and lengthened burn time reduces the proportionate amount of exposure illumination during shutter closing movement and, consequently, the deleterious effect of variation in shutter closing movement so that exposure with varying camera/subject distances and flash illumination is relatively unaffected.
