ABSTRACT:
An automatic exposure control apparatus for a camera has the shutter release button and the memory shutter release button as switches with slidable contacts, a photodetector for detecting brightness of an object, a capacitor for holding the detected photometric value of the photodetector, and a bias circuit. When the shutter release button is depressed by a first stroke, power is turned on. After framing for a memory lock, the first stroke depression of the shutter release button is released, and the memory lock button is depressed. An exposure memory lock is completed. After framing for photography, the memory lock button is depressed again. Thereafter, the shutter release button is depressed by the first stroke, and a picture is taken. When the shutter release button is released and the memory clock button is released, the exposure memory lock is maintained. The exposure value held by the capacitor can be cancelled when the shutter release button is depressed by the first stroke while the memory lock button is released.
