ABSTRACT:
A device for a camera having a manually operated flash assembly includes a sensing element made from a photochromic, metameric or other material which is capable of producing visible optical density changes, such as color changes, based on the level of incident light impinging on the element. According to the invention, a reference standard having a specific optical density is adjacently positioned relative to the sensing element so that the respective optical densities can be compared prior to image capture in order to guide the user whether or not to use the flash.
