发明名称 Image capture apparatus with improved flash control
摘要 An image capturing apparatus includes a lens, a photoelectric converting device, a ranging unit, a lighting unit, a first light controller, a second light controller, and a controlling unit. The photoelectric converting device converts an optical image focused by the lens to an electric signal. The ranging unit measures a distance between the lens and the object. The first light controller instructs a projection of a preliminary light from the lighting unit to the object, computes an emission intensity of a light flash required for capturing the image of the object based on a reflection light, and instructs an emission of a first light flash. The second light controller instructs a projection of a second light flash from the lighting unit to the object, receives a reflection light reflected with a light receiver, and stops the projection of the second light flash when the light receiver receives a given amount of light intensity. The controlling unit activates the first and second light controller selectively or concurrently.
