Abstract:
1. A camera system comprising: a light emitting section capable of emitting a preflash prior to a main flash upon photographing; a photometry section capable of measuring reflected light from an object upon emitting said preflash; a focal-length information detecting section detecting focal-length information corresponding to a focal length of a photographic lens; an object-distance information detecting section detecting information corresponding to a distance to said object; and a main flash amount calculating section calculating a main flash amount upon photographing in accordance with information obtained at least from said photometry section, said focal-length information detecting section, and said object-distance information detecting section, wherein when said focal-length information indicates a focal length shorter than a first focal length, said main flash amount calculating section makes a wide-angle side dimming correction to reduce said main flash amount.
