In an automatic control apparatus for controlling the quantity of light from a flash device, a first photocell device, responsive to the light from the flash device, is serially connected with a second photocell device, responsive to light reflected from the photographic object, and the output from the second photocell device is integrated and used for energizing known apparatus for preventing the light generated by the flash device from reaching the photographic object to optimize the light illuminating the photographic object. The second photocell device has a lower output than the first photocell device, thereby enabling the output from the second photocell device to determine the light measurement. The first photocell functions as a gate in response to the direct light emission from the flash device to prevent spurious and undesirable actuation of the second photocell device.
