Abstract

An electromagnetic shutter release device is provided with an electromagnet including an armature. A control circuit including two delay circuits are connected to the electromagnet for energizing same for a first period upon the initiation of the shutter release operation and thereafter energizing same for a second period upon the initiation of the exposure operation. The armature is mounted for movement to a first position during the first period, movement into a second position between the first and second periods and maintaining of same in the second position in the second period and into a third position after the second period. The movement of the armature from the first to the second position initiates the exposure operation and the movement of the armature from the second to the third position initiates the aperture closing operation which in turn begins the energization of the electromagnet during the second period whereupon the armature is maintained in position. As a result, a device is obtained which is technically and economically advantageous since it uses a single electromagnetic assembly for two purposes.
