ABSTRACT:
A photometric device of the kind obtaining information on the luminance of each of photometric areas defined by dividing a photographing field at least into a middle area and a peripheral area and computing a photometric value on the basis of luminance information obtained from the middle and peripheral areas includes: detecting means for detecting whether the luminance information obtained from the peripheral area exceeds a given upper limit luminance level; and correcting means which is arranged to substitute a specific luminance information value for the luminance information obtained from the peripheral area when the latter is detected by the detecting means to be exceeding the upper limit luminance level.
