Photometry device with light and colorimetric sensors

A photometry device for a camera, comprising:

• a normal light sensor that performs photometry with respect to an object;
• an exposure amount determining system that determines an exposure amount of the object in accordance with an output of said normal light sensor;
• a plurality of calorimetric sensors that detect a color of the object by performing colorimetry with respect to an image of the object which is formed by a photographing lens of the camera, said plurality of calorimetric sensors having spectral sensitivity characteristics that are different from each other;
• an external light sensor that measures an external light illuminating the object at spectral sensitivity characteristics respectively corresponding to said plurality of colorimetric sensors;
• a light source color compensation amount determining system that determines light source color compensation amount in accordance with the output of said external light sensor;
• a light source effect compensation system that compensates for the outputs of said colorimetric sensors with the light source color compensation amount;
• a colorimetry compensation amount determining system that determines a color of the object based on the output of said colorimetric sensors as compensated by said light source effect compensation system, and then determines a calorimetric compensation amount based on the determined color;
• an exposure amount compensation system that compensates for the exposure amount determined by said exposure amount determining system in accordance with the calorimetric compensation amount,
• wherein said light source color compensation amount determining system changes the light source color compensation amount in accordance with a photographing magnification of the photographing lens of said camera.
