Abstract

The exposure of film which changes its transmissivity as a function of the quantum of light to which it is subjected is controlled by sensing the intensity of the light transmitted through the film. From the sensed light the change in the light transmissivity of the film is determined and when that change has reached the desired level the exposure of the film is terminated. The exposure is instantaneously controlled and terminated only after the desired exposure level has been reached irrespective of the time required.
