Abstract
An image sensing system having an image sensing part for sensing the image of an object to be photographed, two shutter blades which block image light, two motors arranged to drive the two shutter blades respectively and a control circuit arranged to keep a turning phase difference unvarying between the two motors.
Claims7
An image sensing system comprising:
- image sensing means for sensing the image of an object to be photographed;
- two shutter blades which block image light coming toward said image sensing means;
- two rotative driving means for driving said two shutter blades respectively;
- control means for controlling the difference in rotating phase between said two rotative driving means to keep the difference unvarying;
- wherein said control means includes detecting means for detecting the rotating phases of said two rotative driving means;
- wherein said detecting means is arranged to detect a time at which the first shutter blade completes a light blocking action and to detect a time at which the second shutter blade commences a light blocking action;
- wherein said control means includes a first signal generating means for producing a first signal which varies with the lapse of time after completion of the light blocking action and a second signal generating means for producing a second signal which varies with the lapse of time after the commencement of the light blocking action;
- and
- wherein each of said first and second signal generating means includes a constant current circuit and a capacitor which stores electric charge of a current flowing from said constant current circuit.
