ABSTRACT:
An active type focusing part, including a projector and a light acceptor, is capable of measuring a reflectance of the main subject. When a distance measured by the focusing part is smaller than a predetermined distance, the reflectance is measured. A strobe light control part controls a strobe light in accordance with the measured distance, the measured reflectance, and a brightness measured by a photometry part. The strobe light control part decreases an exposure of the strobe light as the measured reflectance increases, so that the exposure of the strobe light is set appropriately.
