Abstract:
A device for controlling a photographing operation of an electro-developing type camera, comprising:an electronic flash;an electro-developing recording medium that electronically develops an image which is formed by exposing said electro-developing recording medium;a system that outputs a recording medium activating signal so that said electro-developing recording medium can develop said image;a calculation system that performs an exposure calculation based on a photometry value, so that a first set exposure period, for which said electro-developing recording medium can be exposed to develop said image, is obtained; anda system that actuates said electronic flash to radiate light, when said first set exposure period is longer than a standard value, so that an actual exposure period, for which said electro-developing recording medium is actually exposed, becomes shorter than said first set exposure period;said standard value comprising an output period for which said recording medium activating signal is output.
