Photometry device of a camera

A photometry device of a camera having a photographing optical system, comprising:

• a photometry device to divide object light incident from the photographing optical system into a plurality of color components, photometrically measuring the color components, and outputting a plurality of photometry values, each corresponding respectively to the color components;
• and
• an exposure controller to produce weighted photometry values by weighting the photometry values so that a maximum one of the photometry values is preponderantly weighted, and to calculate an exposure amount based on the weighted photometry values.

A photometry device of a camera, comprising:

• a photometry device to divide a photographing field into a plurality of divided areas, to measure photometrically object light of each of the divided areas while dividing the object light into a plurality of color components, and to output a plurality of photometry values corresponding to the plurality of color components of each of the divided areas;
• and
• an exposure controller to weight and add the photometry values within each of the divided areas with a maximum one of the photometry values corresponding to the color components being preponderantly weighted to obtain representative photometry values of the divided areas, respectively, and to calculate the exposure control value based on the representative photometry values.

A photometry device of a camera, comprising:

• photometry means for photoelectrically measuring object light while dividing the object light into a plurality of color components, and for outputting a plurality of photometry values, each corresponding respectively to the color components;
• and
• exposure control means for weighting the plurality of photometry values corresponding to the color components to produce weighted photometry values, and for calculating an exposure control value to obtain reproducibility of a prominent color component having a corresponding photometry value given maximum weight among the weighted photometry values.
