Abstract: A photometric apparatus includes a charge accumulation type photoelectric transfer unit, a real time monitor unit for monitoring the intensity of incident light in a charge accumulation time of the photoelectric transfer unit, a counting unit for counting a time required for the output of the real time monitor unit to reach a predetermined threshold value, and a memory unit for storing the counted value of the counting unit. A brightness of an object is calculated using the previous counted value stored in the memory unit, the present counted value, the present charge accumulation time, and the A/D converted values of the individual pixel signals obtained on the basis of the present charge accumulation of the photoelectric transfer unit.

Abstract: A camera system has a device for recording an image of a photographing field in a recording medium such as a photographing negative color film, a photometering device for forming brightness information concerning the brightness of the photographing field, and a color information forming device for forming, in accordance with the brightness information, color information concerning the color of the light from a light source for illuminating the photographing field. The printing process after the deployment of the image is executed with a suitable control of the printing exposure light quantity in accordance with the color information so that a color print of a good quality can be obtained with a high reproducibility of the color.
