ABSTRACT:
A light quantity measuring system with a function of controlling an exposure comprises a capacitor an anode potential of which drops from a predetermined level to a set-up reference level with a rate of change responding to a quantity of light incident on a photodiode through which a discharging current of the capacitor flows. A counter counts a pulse signal with a set-up repetitive frequency, the counted number of which represents a quantity of the light. A counting condition setting means sets the reference level and the repetitive frequency in response to a counted number in the counter so as to prevent an overflow of the counter. A calculating means calculates a quantity of light based on the counted number, the reference level and the repetitive frequency.
