ABSTRACT:
A camera with photo lockout when a lockout condition is present is overridden when the trigger switch is pressed a second time. For example, when the flash charger has not reached a predetermined minimum charge level, flash lockout occurs. As another example, when the photo subject is outside the range of an auto focus system, focus lockout occurs. In either situation, a second press of the trigger switch within a predetermined time period of the first press overrides the lockout. An optional lockout indicator, such as an L.E.D., may be added. In addition, lockout may still occur where an ambient light level reading indicates insufficient light for exposure.
