ABSTRACT:
A simultaneous image capture system including a film camera and an electronic image capture system includes a shutter release cable adapter with means for generating an output signal in response to initiation of a picture taking event. If the electronic image capture system is not ready to accept a new image, an imaging system controller responds to the adapter output signal to generate a warning indication to alert the photographer not to continue with the picture-taking event. The cable adapter is preferably a two position electromechanical device having an input responsive to the imaging system controller. When the electronic image capture system is not prepared to accept a new image, the controller sends a system busy signal to the adapter to cause the adapter to assume a blocking setting that physically blocks the cable release from initiating a picture taking event. When the image capature system is free, the system busy signal is removed causing the adapter to revert to an alternate position that physically allows the cable release to initiate the picture taking event.
