System for controlling film transport for camera

Abstract

A film transport control system in a camera, including a central processing unit programmed to control a film transport motor to transport film for one frame and also to start operating a liquid crystal display unit in response to a signal intermittently generated by a one-frame feed switch actuated in timed relation to movement of the film in the camera. The central processing unit issues a film rewinding failure warning if a predetermined number of signals are not supplied by the one-frame feed switch within a preset period of time from the time when the film starts being rewound. The time when signals are no longer applied by the one-frame feed switch for a predetermined period of time is regarded as a film rewinding completion time by the central processing unit if a predetermined number of signals or more are applied by the one-frame feed switch when the film starts to be rewound.
