ABSTRACT:
A photometric circuit performs photometry on an object field using an accumulating photometric element, such as, for example, a CCD. An accumulation controller controls the photometric circuit. An abnormality sensor determines whether an abnormality, such as, for example, the inversion effect of the photometric output of the photometric circuit has occurred. The accumulation controller sets the accumulation time of the photometric element for the next round of photometry to a minimum value, for example, when it has been determined by the abnormality sensor that an abnormality has occurred. This allows the photometric circuit to return to normal operation as quickly as possible.
