Abstract

In an aperture preferred exposure control apparatus for a photographic camera, scene light is received by an exposure time determining photocell and a low light determining photocell. The received light is attenuated at different rates respectively for the two photocells to change the shutter speed at which a low light signal will result as a function of the particular size exposure aperture selected.
