ABSTRACT:
A metering device comprises a photoelectric converter circuit for generating a first voltage corresponding to the brightness of a subject to be photographed. The converter circuit includes a photoelectric converter element and a first conductor element for logarithmically converting the output of the photoelectric converter element. The device further comprises a voltage generating circuit including a second semiconductor element and a current source for flowing a current proportional to an absolute temperature to a resistor connected in series to the second semiconductor element. The voltage generating circuit is effective to generate a second voltage comprising the sum of the voltages generated in the resistor and the second conductor element. The difference beween the first and the second voltage is put out by a differential amplifier. A third voltage proportional to the absolute temperature is put out by a voltage generating circuit, and the third voltage and the output voltage of the differential amplifier are compared by a comparator circuit. Means is provided for equalizing the output voltage of the differential amplifier and the third voltage by the output of the comparator circuit.
