ABSTRACT:
In a camera having a light receiving element for receiving extraneous light, an integrating capacitor series-connected to the light receiving element, a control circuit for supplying a stop signal to a flashlight device through a connection cord between the camera and the flashlight device to cause the flashlight discharge tube of the flashlight device to stop emitting when the terminal of the capacitor has reached a predetermined value, and a synchro circuit having a synchro terminal and X-contact, there is provided a coil excitable by a current flowing from the flashlight device through the synchro terminal and X-contact to generate a voltage when the flashlight discharge tube has started to emit, the coil being series-connected to the X-contact, a transistor parallel-connected to the integrating capacitor so that in its conductive position, the transistor enables the capacitor to discharge and in its non-conductive position, the transistor enables the capacitor to be charged, and a switching circuit connected to the coil and the release mechanism of the camera so that upon detection of the voltage generated in the coil, the switching circuit assumes a first position to render the switching element non-conductive and upon completion of shutter release, the switching circuit assumes a second position to render the switching element conductive.
