ABSTRACT:
A photographic film cartridge has one or more resistive elements formed on the exterior surface of the cartridge with associated visual indicator elements to indicate exposure status of film in the cartridge. The camera is provided with a drive circuit to change the resistance values of the resistive elements to provide an electrically sensed indication of the film exposure status when next the cartridge is placed in the camera. Provision can be made for both full exposure and mid-roll interrupt indications. At the same time, the heat generated by the resistive element during its change in resistance value is useful to change a characteristic of the associated visual indicator to provide a visual indication of the exposure status of the film in the cartridge.
