Abstract: A light measurement device includes a photoelectric converter for receiving light from an object to be measured and converting the light to a measuring electrical energy in accordance with the intensity of the light, an offset amount measurement device for measuring the offset amount of the photoelectric converter, temperature measurement device for measuring a first temperature of the photoelectric converter when measuring the offset amount, and a second temperature of the photoelectric converter when measuring the light from the object, a memory device for storing a characteristic of the photoelectric converter with respect to temperature, correction amount calculation device for calculating a correction amount based on the characteristic, the first temperature, and the second temperature, and a light intensity calculation device for calculating a light intensity based on the measuring electrical energy, the offset amount, and the correction amount.

Abstract: A color meter for measuring the respective intensity of the blue, green and red regions of an illuminating light source to provide the photographic information according to the measured value. The present invention provides an appliance, which directly provides, as the final output, the light balancing factor or the color compensating factor according to the necessary one from among the measured informations of the light intensity of each region of blue, green, red and an information determined according to using film, video image pickup tube, solid image pickup element, etc. and of which the operation is simple and the correcting filter can be simply and quickly determined.
