ABSTRACT:
The disclosed control system controls the diaphragm aperture of a camera in accordance with a preselected shutter time. A diaphragm scanner produces one pulse for each change of one stop in the size of aperture opening. When the required value of the diaphragm aperture, as determined in Apex form, is a number having an integer and a decimal fraction, the diaphragm aperture is adjusted in accordance with the integer, and the shutter time is adjusted to a value obtained by factoring the decimal fraction into the preset value of shutter time. Corresponding adjustment of the shutter time assures a one-eighth-stop accuracy in exposure control despite the diaphragm aperture being varied in one-stop increments.
