The logarithmic expansion and integration circuit in the electronic shutter shown in FIG. 1, as previously proposed by the present inventor in Japanese Patent Application No. 52-85752, is useful because it uses a single power source. That is, the outputs of the photometry section 1 and calculation section 2 of the camera are applied to the inverting input terminal (-) of the operational amplifier 3 via the shutter operating switch SW 0 and the resistive elements R 1 to R 4 connected in series. ing. The voltage logarithmically expanded by the integral capacitive element C is compared with the comparison voltage Vr in the comparator 4. When the logarithmically expanded voltage becomes equal to or lower than Vr, the excitation of the electromagnet 5 is released, the rear curtain of the shutter runs, and the shutter time is determined. In this device, the moment the shutter operation switch SW 0 is turned on, the outputs of the photometer 1 and the calculation section 2 are applied almost only to the resistor R 1 , which causes a problem when the subject is photographed under normal brightness. However, especially when metering a bright subject (when high-speed shutter operation is required), a large current passes through the switch SW 0 .

Therefore, if the output impedance of the calculation section 2 is not sufficiently small, the current will be large, and even if the calculation section output voltage is a product that outputs a predetermined voltage, the voltage will drop and high-speed shutter operation will not be possible, resulting in a slow shutter speed. There is a drawback that it fluctuates longer than a predetermined value. Furthermore, if the switch SW 0 is configured not as a mechanical switch but as an electronic switch, particularly a switch using an FET, the voltage drop across the switching circuit cannot be ignored when the large current is passed, and affects the shutter speed. If the switch SW 0 is configured with a normal transistor, the voltage drop will be less of a problem, but the base current cannot be ignored, and in any case, there will be many problems with the switching control of the electronic switch, and a high-speed shutter will be required. In some cases, it may be difficult to perform a sufficient function.

The photometer 1 measures the brightness of the subject, and the calculation unit 2 applies a voltage corresponding to the shutter speed determined by the film's sensitivity ASA value and aperture value to the inverting input terminal (-) of the operational amplifier 3. At that time, switch SW 0 is OFF, switch
Leave SW 1 and SW 2 both ON. Operational amplifier 3
A transistor Tr11 is inserted into the output terminal of the transistor Tr11, and a capacitive element C for integral operation is connected to the emitter electrode of the transistor Tr11, and the emitter electrode is at ground potential. Since the other end of the capacitive element C is the inverting input terminal (-) of the operational amplifier 3, that side is equal to the output potential of the arithmetic unit 2, and therefore the capacitive element C is charged by the output potential of the arithmetic unit 2. There will be. At this time, a voltage is generated at the output terminal of the comparator 4, which excites the electromagnet 5.
Retains membrane after shutter. When the shutter tip membrane is operated for shutter operation, the shutter operation switch SW 0 is turned on, and SW 1 and SW 2 are turned on.
It is considered OFF. Operational amplifier 3 starts integrating and its output terminal voltage begins to rise. In other words, the integral operation is logarithmic expansion of the output of the calculation section 2. When the output potential of the operational amplifier 3 becomes higher than the comparison potential Vr of the comparator 4, the excitation of the electromagnet 5 is released and the held rear membrane runs to obtain a predetermined shutter time.

In the above operation, the switches SW 0 , SW 1 , and SW 2 have been explained as mechanical switches, but in the case of high-speed shutter operation, it is difficult to synchronize the opening and closing operations, and they are unreliable, so electronic switching is used. It is convenient to use a container. Figure 3 shows the switch
The case where semiconductor elements are used as SW 0 , SW 1 , and SW 2 is shown. That is, the transistor Tr 0 is used as the switch SW 0 , the N-channel FET Tr 1 is used as the switch SW 1 , the normal transistor Tr 2 is used as the switch SW 2 , and SWa is used as the switch to open and close these at the same time. Use. The transistor Tr 0 is opened and closed by a switch connected between the base electrode and ground.
This is done by turning SWa ON and OFF, and
ON/OFF of FET equivalent to SW 1 and Tr 2 equivalent to SW 2
This is performed by turning on and off the phase inversion transistor Tr3 . With this configuration, the signal at the start of travel of the shutter tip membrane can be retrieved simply by opening the switch SWa.
It is convenient because the three switches SW 0 , SW 1 , and SW 2 can operate simultaneously, and the number of contacts is reduced. Also, there is no adverse effect due to the chattering phenomenon during the opening/closing operation of the switch SWa, resulting in a highly reliable circuit. becomes.

Note that it is also possible to use a P-channel FET as FETTr 1 and control it by the h-point voltage of the switch SWa shown in FIG. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the cutoff voltage of the FET gate. Further, a bipolar transistor can be used as Tr 1 when the output impedance of the calculation section 2 is not very high.

In this way, according to the present invention, in order to run the front shutter curtain, the shutter operating switch SW 0 is activated.
When turned ON, the output of the calculation section is only connected to the input terminal of the operational amplifier, so in order to perform high-speed shutter operation like the conventional circuit, the output impedance of the calculation section must be made sufficiently small. There are no such restrictions. Therefore, the design of the circuit constituting the arithmetic unit is simplified. In addition, if a large current flows through the shutter operation switch during the integral operation of the operational amplifier, a transistor can be used as the switch.
Since the saturation voltage when ON is low and the voltage level on one side is fixed at ground potential, there are few restrictions on control input to the base electrode. Therefore, accurate operation can be obtained even in the case of high-speed shutter operation.
