ABSTRACT:
A film feed control apparatus feeds film with an electrical feeding mechanism in a film feeding direction and stops the film at predetermined positions. The film includes a plurality of photo frames. A predetermined number of perforations having edges at leading and trailing sides of the film are defined at predetermined positions at the photo frames. An edge detector detects edges of the perforations of the film as the film is fed in the feeding direction. A physical amount detector detects a physical amount that relates to an amount of film that is fed from a time when the film feeding starts to a time when an edge of a predetermined perforation is detected. The physical amount detector also detects a physical amount that relates to an amount of film that is fed from the time when the edge of the predetermined perforation is detected to a time when another edge is detected. A controller determines a time, subsequent to the time when film feeding starts, for the feeding mechanism to stop feeding the film based upon a number of edges detected by the edge detector and the physical amounts detected by the physical amount detector.
