ABSTRACT:
A release locking device for use in photographic cameras of the type in which an exposure meter and electro-magnetic actuating and releasing means for automatic exposure control are rendered operative in separate manner by their respective control or release switches as may be operatively associated with a display button and a shutter release button respectively. This device comprises a master switch connected between an electrical power source and a common input lead of these release switches to be closed and opened in response to an actuation and a release, respectively, of a manually operable member, thereby all of the release switches are rendered effective and ineffective at a time. In a preferred embodiment, this device is operatively associated with a shutter cocking mechanism to be actuable in automatic response to a protracting movement of the shutter cocking lever into an effective range of shutter cocking operation.
