ABSTRACT:
In a flash photographing system, measuring light is calculated by dividing a picture plane into a plurality of areas and adjusting a quantity of flash light on the basis of light measurement outputs obtained from the plurality of areas. The light measurement outputs are evaluated and weighted according to focusing states of the areas, and the weighting values are varied according to the kind of automatic focusing mode selected, so that a quantity of flash light can be controlled appositely to the automatic focusing mode selected.
