Abstract

An indicating lamp disposed on a camera housing so as to be observed by a person to be photographed is energized in two different modes respectively before and after a film has been exhausted or nearly completely used. A power-supplying circuit for energizing the indicating lamp includes first and second switches connected in parallel with each other for supplying electric power to the indicating lamp. The first switch is repeatedly closed and opened due to the operation of the motion picture camera while the second switch is opened or closed immediately before the film is exhausted or nearly completely used.
