Conventionally, the so-called TTL direct metering device measures light using the light reflected from the film surface or the shutter curtain surface of the light transmitted through the photographing lens.As shown in Fig. 1, by inserting and removing a diffuser plate into the light metering optical path, average light metering and partial metering can be performed. There is a method of photometry. When performing average photometry, the light enters through the photographing lens 2, is reflected by the film surface 3, and then passes through the photometry lens 4 and the light receiving element 5.
A diffuser plate 1 is inserted into the photometric optical path between the two, and the light beam is diffused by the diffuser plate 1, and photometry is performed by the light receiving element 5. In the case of partial photometry, the diffuser plate 1 is retracted out of the photometry optical path and photometry is performed.
Since the diffusing plate 1 is moved out of the photometric optical path, a spatial space is required for this purpose.
The disadvantage is that this method cannot be used if the camera body does not have enough room for this.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a photometering device for a camera that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional device described above, does not require much space through adjustment, and can continuously change the photometric sensitivity distribution. The gist of this method is to insert a plurality of diffuser plates, each of which has protrusions and recesses that can come into close contact with each other on opposing surfaces, into a photometric optical path, and to move these diffusers toward and away from each other along the optical path. It is characterized by:

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the diffusion member 10, which consists of two diffusion plates 11a and 11b made of a transparent material, the opposing surfaces of which are diffusion surfaces 12a and 12b having a large number of hemispherical protrusions or recesses, These protrusions and recesses fit into each other, and when the diffusion plates 11a and 11b are brought into close contact with each other, they become one transparent plate. The diffusing member 10 is inserted into the photometric optical path between the film surface 3 and the photometric lens 4 as shown in FIG.
The distance between 1b can be changed by a drive mechanism (not shown).

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
1b, the diffusing member 10 will not have a diffusing effect, and only light within the field angle determined by the photometric lens 4 will enter the light receiving element 5.
By using the photometric lens 4 having an angle of view that covers a partial range of the film surface 3, partial photometry of the film surface 3 can be performed in the light receiving element 5.

Furthermore, if the diffusion plates 11a and 11b of the diffusion member 10 are separated as shown in FIG.
a, 12b performs a diffusion effect, and the reflected light from a wider range of the film surface 3 is incident on the photometric lens 4 and the light receiving element 5 than the angle of view of the photometric lens determined when there is no diffuser 10, and the light is reflected over a wider range. It is possible to perform photometry, and by providing an appropriate diffusion effect, average photometry can be performed.

Since the degree of diffusion effect changes depending on the distance between the diffusion plates 11a and 11b, the photometric distribution sensitivity can be continuously changed by adjusting the distance.

FIG. 5 shows another embodiment of the diffusion member 10, in which the diffusion surface 12a of the diffusion plate 11a is provided with a large number of triangular pyramidal protrusions, and the diffusion surface 12b of the diffusion plate 11b has recesses corresponding to the protrusions. is provided.
It should be noted that the diffusion surfaces 12a and 12b may have any other shape, for example, a waveform surface may be considered.

In the embodiment, the diffusion member 10 is composed of two diffusion plates 11a and 11b, but three or more diffusion plates may be used. Furthermore, by increasing the refractive index of the diffuser plate, the photometric distribution sensitivity can be greatly changed with a small amount of movement. Furthermore, by moving the diffuser plate 11a or 11b, it is also possible to adjust the deviation of the exposure amount with respect to the change in the photometric distribution sensitivity. That is, during average metering, the photographing light from most of the film surface 3 or shutter curtain surface is measured, and the amount of light incident on the light receiving element 1 tends to be large. In this case, by further widening the gap between the diffusion plates 11a and 11b to increase the diffusion effect, it is possible to conversely reduce the amount of light incident on the light receiving element 1, and it is possible to perform partial photometry for the same uniform subject. It can be made the same as the output at the time.

As explained above, the camera photometry device according to the present invention changes the photometry distribution sensitivity by changing the spacing between a plurality of diffuser plates each having a diffusion surface along the optical path. It has the advantage that it does not require much space compared to other devices. Moreover, this photometric distribution sensitivity also has the effect of being able to be changed continuously.
