Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain proper exposure even to an object other than the middle part in a synchronization mode at daytime by providing a means switching a range of a picture signal obtained from an image pickup element through pre-exposure except the middle part and its vicinity. CONSTITUTION:In case of switching to the photometry other than the middle part A in the daytime synchronization mode, a terminal 150a of an analog switch 150 for mode changeover is thrown to the position of a terminal 150c and an output of an OR gate 127 is decided by the output of an OR gate 133. Moreover, the output of monostable multivibrators 124, 125 is given to the OR gate 133 via inverting circuits 131, 132 and only the part B in the range other than the part A goes to a high level. Then a control terminal 105c of the analog switch 105 goes to a high level at the same position on the screen and the luminance signal of the part B is sent to a low pass filter and succeeding stage comprising a resistor 106 and a capacitor 107. Thus, the incident luminous quantity in the part B is controlled always to be constant finally and proper exposure is given even to an object other than the part A.
