More Information
Summary:An auto strobe control circuit comprising a flash stopping signal generating circuit for measuring the luminance of an object exposed to light emitted from a flash tube by a photometric circuit, sending the obtained photometric value, film sensitivity information and aperture information to an operational amplifier to subject them to an arithmetic operation, and generating a flash stopping signal when the value calculated by the arithmetic operation, reaches a predetermined light amount. The photometric circuit essentially consists of a photoelectromotive force type light receiving element and a log-conversion diode connected in series with a constant-voltage circuit, and a temperature compensation circuit connected with the log-conversion diode. The photometric value is sent from a connection point between the light receiving element and the log-conversion diode to the operational amplifier. A voltage follower is positioned between the temperature compensation circuit and the log-conversion diode.
