Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to the recording of exposure data in association with photographs, and more specifically to recording data describing intentional variations from a nominal exposure for providing information to an observer.
- a disadvantage of prior art cameras is that, in instances wherein a user intentionally varies a camera exposure from a suggested nominal exposure, no accommodation is made for recording the varied exposure. Such instances arise, for example, in cameras of the type providing both a recommended nominal exposure, and the ability to deviate from the nominal exposure for such purposes as exposure bracketing. Since no accommodation is made for recording the varied exposure, this information is not available to the subsequent observer of the finished photographic prints or transparencies. Thus, in situations where the user has intentionally varied an exposure, he is typically left guessing what exposure was used for a subsequently finished print or transparency.
- a principle object of the present invention is to provide information indicating an intentional variation from a nominal exposure for use during the evaluation of photographic prints or transparencies.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a photographic camera which automatically records exposure data indicating an intentional variation from a nominal exposure.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a system for processing and mounting a transparency which indicates on the mounted transparency if the exposure selected for the transparency was intentionally varied from a nominal exposure.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a photographic printing system for printing a photographic negative onto a photosensitive paper which indicates on the photographic print if the exposure selected for the negative was intentionally varied from a nominal exposure.
- a new and improved method of operating a photographic camera to provide exposure information in association with a latent image picture frame comprises the steps of: automatically providing a nominal exposure for the picture frame; providing an operator-selected exposure for the picture frame which differs from the nominal exposure by a known under- or over-exposure; exposing the picture frame in accordance with the operator-selected exposure; and recording data in association with the picture frame which indicates the difference between the nominal and operator-selected exposures.
- a new and improved method of providing exposure-related data in association with a mounted photographic transparency comprises the steps of: reading data associated with the photographic transparency, the data indicating if the transparency was purposefully exposed at an operator-selected exposure different from an automatically supplied nominal exposure; and recording data in association with the mounted photographic transparency indicating to an observer the under- or over-exposure of the transparency.
- a new and improved method of operating a photographic printing system to print a photographic negative onto a photosensitive paper, whereby to produce a subsequently developed photographic print comprises the steps of: reading data associated with the negative, the data indicating if the negative was purposely exposed at an operator-selected exposure different from an automatically supplied nominal exposure; and marking the photographic print to indicate to an observer the under- or over-exposure of the negative.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a photographic camera constructed in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating the operation of the camera of FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a photographic slide mounter constructed in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a photographic printing system constructed in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a photographic camera 10 including a transport mechanism 12 for supporting and advancing a conventional silver halide filmstrip 14.
- a lens 16, aperture mechanism 20, and shutter mechanism 22 are positioned to control the exposure of picture frames onto filmstrip 14.
- a "picture frame" comprises an undeveloped, latent image scene.
- a controller 18, for example a microprocessor is connected to the aperture and shutter mechanisms 20, 22, and to film transport mechanism 12.
- An automatic exposure control photosensor 24 and a shutter release button 26 are both connected to controller 18, operation of the shutter release button causing the controller to set aperture 20 and actuate shutter 22.
- the above-described components represent conventional features and will not be discussed in detail herein.
- an automatic exposure compensation control mechanism represent conventional features and will not be discussed in detail herein.
- a recording device 30 is likewise connected to controller 18 and positioned adjacent filmstrip 14 for marking the filmstrip.
- a manual exposure compensation control mechanism 32 includes controls such as thumbwheels (not shown) mounted on the outside of camera 10, the operation of which varies the adjustment of aperture 20 and shutter 22.
- Automatic exposure compensation control mechanism 28 comprises apparatus for automatically "bracketing" a nominal exposure selected by controller 18 responsive to the light sensed by sensor 24.
- Mechanism 28 functions to automatically provide a selected number of exposures in addition to the nominal exposure: i.e. one under- and one over-exposure.
- the amount of under- and over-exposure can be pre-programmed, or controlled by a photographer.
- exposure compensation control mechanism 28 can be operated to provide a predetermined under- or over-exposure for selected frames, without the above-described bracketing. Such operation is desirable, for example, to provide purposeful over-exposure to compensate for back-lit scenes.
- Recording device 30 comprises apparatus for recording data onto filmstrip 14 in, for example, a latent image, mechanical, or magnetic format. If latent image recording is desired, recording device 30 can comprise a light pipe or light emitting diode (LED). If mechanical recording is desired, device 30 can comprise a mechanical punch. Similarly, if part of filmstrip 14 is adapted for magnetic recording, recording device 30 can comprise a magnetic write head.
- latent image recording is desired, recording device 30 can comprise a light pipe or light emitting diode (LED).
- LED light emitting diode
- device 30 can comprise a mechanical punch.
- recording device 30 can comprise a magnetic write head.
- Manual compensation control mechanism 32 comprises apparatus for permitting an operator (not shown) to manually override the nominal exposure automatically supplied by controller 18, and to manually adjust aperture 20 and/or shutter 22 to provide a user-selected exposure.
- Manual compensation control mechanism 32 can comprise, for example, user-operable thumbwheels appropriately connected to aperture and shutter mechanisms 20, 22.
- controller 18 upon the activation of shutter release button 26 by a user, controller 18 functions to automatically provide a nominal exposure for filmstrip 14. This nominal exposure is selected responsive to the ambient light sensed by sensor 24, and the selective activation of a flash (not shown). The providing of such pre-programmed or calculated nominal exposures is well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be discussed further herein.
- controller 18 senses the input of automatic exposure compensation control 28 and manual exposure compensation control 32 to determine if the user has manipulated either control to select an exposure other than the automatically provided nominal exposure. If no exposure compensation is provided, the filmstrip 14 is exposed with the nominal exposure. Recording device 30 is then activated to record on filmstrip 14 data indicating that the nominal exposure was used. Alternatively, the absence of data could be used to indicate the nominal exposure was used.
- controller 18 determines that exposure compensation has been provided, either through automatic controller 28 or manual controller 32, aperture 20 and shutter 22 are set to provide the desired, user-selected exposure to filmstrip 14. Controller 18 calculates/determines the difference between the automatically provided nominal exposure and the user-selected exposure. Such a difference is typically expressed in "stops", for example one change in f-stop, or a halving (or doubling) of shutter speed. The user-selected exposure is made on filmstrip 14, and controller 18 activates recording device 30 to record data indicating the difference between the nominal and user-selected exposures on the filmstrip. If automatic exposure bracketing is selected as described above, the compensated exposure and concomitant data recording will, of course, be performed for each of the bracketing exposures.
- the data need not be recorded coincident with the exposure of each individual frame.
- the data may, for example, be stored in controller 18, and recorded on filmstrip 14 during a rewind operation.
- the data may be recorded on a leading or trailing end of filmstrip 14, or on a cartridge associated with the filmstrip.
- the data may also be placed on the non-emulsion side of filmstrip 14.
- a transparency processing system 40 constructed in accordance with the present invention includes conventional processing and mounting stations, 42, 44, respectively.
- a transparency film 46 is removed from a light tight cartridge 48, and moved seriatim through processor 42 and mounter 44.
- a sensor 50 is provided upstream (i.e. before cutting and mounting) of mounter 44.
- a data memory circuit 52 is provided intermediate sensor 50 and transparency mounter 44.
- a transparency mount marker for example an ink marker, is provided in mounter 44.
- sensor 50 senses the exposure compensation data recorded with each image frame on filmstrip 46, and transmits this data to mounter 44 via memory 52.
- Data memory 52 insures that the correct data is synchronized with its corresponding image frame as the image frames are cut and mounted by mounter 44.
- Transparency mount marker 54 is actuated, responsive to the exposure data, to mark the data in human-readable format on the transparency mount. Thus, a viewer can view the mounted and marked transparencies indicated at 56, and determine if an exposure compensation was provided when the image was exposed.
- Transparency mount marker 54 can optionally be actuated to mark the data in a machine-readable format on the transparency mount, thus accommodating automated display of the exposure compensation information.
- the invention has further application in a photographic printer. More specifically, the data recorded with each exposure can be used to mark the subsequently made print, thus informing the photographer of any intentional variation in exposure.
- System 60 includes a printer 62 for printing consecutive, developed negative frames on a filmstrip 64 onto photographic paper 66.
- a controller 68 such as a central processing unit (CPU) is provided for controlling printer 62, including providing/calculating a nominal printing exposure for printing each negative frame.
- CPU central processing unit
- a sensor 70 is positioned adjacent filmstrip 64 and upstream of printer 62 for sensing exposure data of the type described herein above.
- a data memory 72 is provided intermediate sensor 70 and printer 62.
- sensor 70 can be positioned at the print station in printer 62, negating the need for memory 72.
- a marker 74 for example an ink printer, is provided in printer 62 for marking the back (i.e. non-emulsion) side of photographic paper 66 in accordance with the sensed exposure data.
- sensor 70 functions to sense the exposure data recorded with each negative frame on filmstrip 64.
- the sensed exposure data is transmitted to printer 62 via memory 72, the memory insuring the synchronizing of the data with its' corresponding negative frame.
- Photographic print marker 74 is actuated, responsive to the exposure data, to mark the data in human-readable format on the back of the print. Thus, a viewer/photographer can view the subsequently developed, marked prints and determine if an exposure compensation was provided when the image was exposed.
- Photographic print marker 74 can optionally be actuated to expose the data directly onto the emulsion side of the photographic print, for example along an edge.
- a method and apparatus for associating data indicating user-provided exposure compensations with each latent image exposed in a camera Further provided are methods and apparatus for using this exposure compensation data to advantage in viewing subsequently produced photographic prints and transparencies. More specifically, a transparency processing and mounting system is provided for marking the exposure data directly on the transparency mount, permitting a viewer to appreciate the results of his exposure selection. A photographic printing system is likewise provided for marking the exposure data on prints. There are thus provided convenient, automatic systems for marking prints or transparencies so as to later remind the user of the exposure compensation provided.
