1. A camera, comprising:

  • (a) a light sensing circuit for generating electric signals corresponding to an object brightness,(b) data input means for producing electric signals corresponding to data set therein,(c) output means for producing electric signals corresponding to a fully-open F-value of a photo-taking lens,(d) an exposure value operating circuit responsive to said light sensing circuit and said data input means for producing exposure information corresponding to an object brightness,(e) a constant voltage circuit for producing a reference voltage signal,(f) low brightness signal detection means responsive to said exposure value operating circuit and said constant voltage circuit for producing an electric signal to indicate whether an exposure value is proper or not,(g) logic means for detecting the condition of a power supply and a film winder to produce an electric control signal,(h) pulse generation means for digitally controlling the camera and having an oscillator to generate clock pulses and a counter producing counting signals corresponding to signals from said oscillator,(i) a sound-making control circuit responsive to said detection means, logic means and pulse generation means for generating a control signal indicating inadequate brightness and corresponding to the counting signals, and(j) a sound-making element responsive to said control circuit for producing sound signals corresponding to the pulse waves of the control signal.
