Abstract

This film sag detecting device for a sound cinecamera is provided with an opto-electronic coupler located along a film path which is formed between a means for intermittent feeding of a film for exposure and a means for continuous feeding of the same for recording sounds thereon. The opto-electronic coupler comprises a light emitting element and a light receiving element and it is placed to allow the film to interrupt a light path which bridges the two light elements exclusively when the film excessively sags, so as to detect any excessive sag of the film.
