<p>An exposure calculation device for cameras is equipped with: a divisional photometry device (10,100) having a plurality of photometer elements (11a-11h) for performing photometry respectively on each of a plurality of divisional areas (F1-F8) constituting a field; a photoelectric transfer element array (43a,b,101) for performing photometry on at least a part of the field; an edge detection device (80,102), which determines a boundary section defining on the photoelectric transfer element array (101) a higher-photometry-output region and a lower-photometry-output region and which outputs edge information on this boundary section; a selection device (80,103), which selects at least one of the photometer elements (11a-11h) of the divisional photometry device (10,100) on the basis of the edge information, exposure calculation being enabled by the photometry output of the photometer element thus selected; and an exposure calculation device (80,104), which calculates a correct exposure for a principal object in the field on the basis of the photometry output of the selected photometer element. <IMAGE></p> |
