ABSTRACT:
The disclosed camera is provided with an automatic focus adjusting device for automatically adjusting the focus of an objective lens. A timer circuit, adapted to be actuated in synchronism with the automatic focusing device initiating focus adjustment of the objective lens, sets a predetermined time and inhibits the actuation of a shutter release device for the predetermined time. In a preferred embodiment, the shutter release actuation is controlled in accordance with the logic condition of a focus adjustment completion signal obtained from the automatic focus adjusting device and a time count completion signal produced when the predetermined time has elapsed. In another embodiment of the present invention, a battery voltage detecting circuit prevents shutter release when the voltage of the battery energizing the camera is below a predetermined level.
