Abstract

PURPOSE:To maintain F number proportionality very nicely and make accurate photometry possible even when a diaphragm is stopped down by supplementing photometric insensitive area of the first photometric system by the second photometric system. CONSTITUTION:The device is provided with the first photometric means that measures luminous flux that passed a focusing screen 3 behind the emitting face of a penta roof prism 4 in the state that does not contain passing light of the range finder section of the focusing screen 3, and the second photometric means that spot measures transmitted light of a quick return mirror 2 having beam splitter characteristic, and photometric output of the first photometric means is compensated by photometric output of the second photometric means. In the first photometric system, the focusing screen 3 and a photo-electric element 7 are made nearly to image forming relation by an image forming lens 6, and so-called partial photometry is made possible by taking out only photometric output of the central part of the photo-electric element 7. Thus, F number proportionality can be maintained nicely even in photometry of a narrow extent of measurement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a photometric device for a single-lens reflex camera.

ないことがある。
Conventionally, a configuration in which a system is arranged as a photometric device for a seven-eye camera 2 has been widely used because it is the simplest. However, since this photometry system is located far from the viewfinder optical axis so as not to block the light flux of the viewfinder observation system, the proportional relationship between the F number of the photographing lens and the amount of photometry tends to deteriorate. The matte surface of the focusing plate causes all F-number light beams to be diffused and enter the photometry system, so this proportional relationship is maintained to some extent. However, in the case of the focus plate of the rangefinder section, the rangefinder section is almost transparent, so the proportional relationship between the F-number and the amount of photometry may not be maintained sufficiently.

すなわち、撮影画面の大部分を測光する、いわゆる平均
測光の場合、測光画面範囲に対する距離計部の占める面
積の割合が小さいために素通しの影響は小さい。
That is, in the case of so-called average photometry, in which most of the photographic screen is photometered, the effect of direct penetration is small because the ratio of the area occupied by the rangefinder section to the photometering screen range is small.

しかし、測光画面範囲を中央部に限定したいわゆる部分

面積が増し、Fナンバーと測光量の比例関係の悪化が無

However, in the case of so-called partial photometry in which the photometry screen range is limited to the center, the area of the distance meter section increases relative to the photometry screen range, and the deterioration of the proportional relationship between the F number and the amount of photometry cannot be ignored. Therefore, we proposed to eliminate the influence of the rangefinder by installing a light shielding section on the photoreceptor surface of the photometry system in the area corresponding to the rangefinder section.

However, by providing the light-shielding portion, the area of the light-shielding portion cannot be increased beyond a certain level because the subject image in the rangefinder section will be ignored if photometry is ignored. As a result, the proportionality of the photometric quantities remains somewhat deteriorated, and the size of the photometric range in the central portion that can be limited is also limited. For this reason, limitations have also been placed on photometry methods that automatically perform exposure correction by dividing the light-receiving element into multiple parts and determining the brightness distribution of a backlit scene from the photometry output of each subdivided light-receiving element.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an optical arrangement of an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is a photographing lens, 2 is a quick return mirror that is a half mirror, 3 is a focusing plate with a rangefinder, 4 is a Dantadano prism, 5 is an eyepiece lens, 6 is an imaging lens, and 7 is a central part and periphery. A light-receiving element divided into parts, 8 is a small mirror,
9 is a primary bit surface, 10 is a condenser lens, 11 is a light receiving element, and 12 is a film surface. The finder observation system is configured so that an image formed on the focusing plate 3 via the photographic lens 1 and the quick return mirror 21 can be observed through the pentagonal grism 4 and the eyepiece lens 5. Further, a first side light system is constituted by an imaging lens 6 and a light receiving element 7, which are arranged behind the exit surface of the notadah grism 4 so as not to block the light beam of the finder observation system. In the first photometric system, the focusing plate 3 and the light-receiving element 7 are in a substantially image-forming relationship through the imaging lens 6, and so-called partial photometry is possible by extracting only the photometric output from the center of the light-receiving element 7.

The photometry system of the GT uses the light diffused by the matte surface of the focusing plate 3 to maintain a proportional relationship between the F number of the photographic lens 1 and the amount of photometry. The focusing plate 3 is, as shown in FIG.
A mark 3b indicating the range of partial photometry of the split image 3a is provided at the center. By the way, since the split image 3a does not diffuse light and is equivalent to the transparent part being on the focusing plate, as mentioned above, the F of the photographing lens is
This becomes a factor that worsens the relationship between the number and the amount of photometry.

Therefore, in this embodiment, a split image 3a of the focusing plate 3 is placed on the light receiving surface of the light receiving element 7 as shown in FIG.
and a light-shielding area of 7 m, 7 m corresponding to the photometric range mark 3b.

That is, when the photometric output of only the light-receiving area 7b is extracted, partial photometry allows photometry of the entire photometric area. Of course, it may also be used for average photometry.

However, since the first photometric system and the second photometric system use different photometric methods, the photometric outputs will be different even if they measure the same range. Therefore, when adding the output of the spot photometry by the second photometry system to the partial photometry, it is necessary to perform a wavelength adjustment.
