ABSTRACT:
A shutter control circuit including a brightness-time conversion circuit for developing an output pulse having a duration representative of exposure time, and a standard pulse generating circuit for generating standard pulses at a certain rate. A reversible counter operable in an addition mode and a subtraction mode counts the standard pulses for the duration of the output pulse of the brightness-time conversion circuit so that the number of counted pulses is representative of exposure time. The reversible counter is then operated in a subtraction mode to read-out the counted pulses to control exposure time. The shutter control circuit further includes circuitry for operating the counter in the addition mode and for applying a selectable number of standard pulses to the reversible counter in order to determine exposure time. When the brightness-time conversion circuit controls the number of standard pulses counted, the control circuit is operative in an automatic mode, and when the number of standard pulses counted are manually selected the control circuit is operative in a manual mode. The shutter control circuit also includes circuitry for reducing the duration of the output pulse of the brightness-time conversion circuit substantially to zero so that the brightness-time conversion circuit is rendered ineffective to determine the exposure time when the shutter control circuit is operated in the manual mode.
