ABSTRACT:
A camera, operable in flash and ambient exposure modes, has adjustable lens apparatus useful for close-up and normal range photography. A photoconductively controlled electromagnet, which is energized in accordance with the intensity of ambient light, controls an apertured blade to adjust an exposure aperture. A mechanism is responsive to adjustment of the lens apparatus for a close-up photograph and overrides the electromagnet. This causes the apertured blade to be moved automatically to its minimum aperture position, independently of the exposure mode, when the camera is set for close-up photography, to enhance depth of field.
