an exposure feedback apparatus is disclosed that includes a comparison unit for receiving and comparing image data with a predetermined exposure level and generating a comparison signal indicative thereof , and a multiplexing unit responsive to the comparison signal for supplying the image data to a display output line when the image data is within a desired exposure range and for alternatingly supplying the image data and preselected display data to the output line when the image data is outside of a desired exposure range . in operation , the alternating supply of the image data and preselected display data to the display output line causes portions of a display unit coupled thereto to &# 34 ; blink &# 34 ; when areas of the imaged scene exceed the predetermined exposure level . thus , the user is supplied with visual feedback that is indicative of the exposure conditions of the captured image .
