Remote control photographic apparatus
First Claim
1. Remote control apparatus for use with a camera having an exposure control system for automatically controlling film exposure, a mechanism for operating a camera shutter and advancing film, first switch means operable for actuating said system, second switch means operable for actuating said mechanism, a manually moveable button, and means coupling the button to both of said switch means for sequentially operating the first switch means and then the second switch means in response to manual movement of the button, said apparatus comprising:
- third switch means operable for actuating said system;
fourth switch means operable for actuating said mechanism;
receiver means for producing an output signal in response to a remotely generated photography signal; and
means responsive to said output signal for sequentially operating said third switch means and then said fourth switch means, whereby said exposure control system is actuated before said mechanism for operating the shutter and advancing the film.

Abstract
Remote control apparatus for cameras having an automatic exposure control circuit and a mechanaism for operating the shutter and advancing the film in the camera comprises a first circuit responsive to a remotely generated photography signal for generating a first control signal to actuate the automatic exposure circuit and a delay circuit for generating a second control signal delayed relative to the first control signal to actuate the shutter-operating and film-advancing mechanism.
