ABSTRACT:
A light measuring device, for use in a camera having an objective lens, for measuring a brightness of a spot of an object, uses an autofocus detecting system which includes an array of light receiving elements for producing charges at a rate relative to an intensity of the light impinging thereon from the object, and a light receiver provided adjacent the light receiving element array for producing a photocurrent at an amount relative to an intensity of the light impinging thereon from said object. The charges produced from the light receiving elements are integrated in a plurality of charge accumulation portions, respectively, and the charges produced by the light receiver is integrated in a capacitor. A comparator is provided for comparing the integrated charges with a predetermined level, and for producing a stop integration signal when the integrated charges reaches the predetermined level so as to stop the integration in the first integration means. A spot brightness detector is provided for detecting the brightness of the sopt of the object using the integrated charges from the capacitor.
