A flashlight control circuit is provided to control the flash according to
an exposure voltage and a predetermined voltage. Either a first
comparator, second comparator and logic gate or a comparator, a first
inverter, a first transistor, a first logic gate and a second logic gate
may be included in the control circuit. The provided circuit enables the
capacitor to discharge promptly when the trigger signal stops. Therefore,
an additional control signal for discharge is not necessary. Furthermore,
the circuit has a clamping circuit to clamp the exposure voltage at a
lower level than the predetermined voltage according to a full flash
signal.
