A pulse that becomes high level during a part of the overlapping scan period is generated as shown in FIG. Since the AND gate 126 is an AND of the outputs of these two monostable multivibrators 124 and 125, the level is high in both the horizontal and straight cylinder parts, that is, the hatched part A in FIG. 4 of the entire screen. Therefore, the control terminal 105c of the analog switch 105 also becomes high level at the same location on the entire screen. Therefore, only the luminance signal corresponding to this portion is transmitted after the low-pass filter consisting of the resistor 106 and the capacitor 107.

.. A low pass filter consisting of a capacitor 107 is manually applied. As a result, f of the luminance signal in the area of 4th [%A]
The average value is input to the operational amplifier 10B with a voltage follower configuration, and the 1u voltage of (i) is output to the output of the operational amplifier 10B. If the average value of the luminance input to the central portion A is higher than the desired value, the output of the inverting amplifier 160 becomes negative, and the terminal 119a of the aperture drive coil 119 is driven with a negative voltage to close the aperture 102.

次に、日中シンクロモードにおいて、中央部以外の測光
