Zusammenfassung:A latch circuit, for producing a lock-out signal which prevents a sequencing circuit from flashing more than one flash lamp of an array of flash lamps when a flash picture is taken, comprises a pair of transistors connected together in a regenerative feedback circuit. The latch circuit is actuated by a latch signal produced by a circuit which senses current flow to a flashing lamp. To prevent false actuation by spurious transient voltages, a transistor switch is connected to momentarily disable the latch circuit when spurious transient voltages occur.
