Abstract:
A strobe emission apparatus, comprising:a color temperature measuring device that measures a color temperature of ambient light;a light emitting device that emits strobe light of a predetermined color temperature;a light measuring device having a light receiving element with a predetermined spectral sensitivity and an integrator that integrates output signals from said light receiving element; andan optimal integration setting device that sets an optimal integration value by compensating for a difference between said predetermined spectral sensitivity of said light receiving element and that of a light that includes said strobe light, emitted by said light emitting device, and reflected light, reflected from an object, incident on said light receiving element in accordance with a signal issued from said color temperature measuring device, wherein said optimal integration setting device includes a memory having a data table in which a set of optimal integration values are stored, each stored optimal integration value being arranged to correspond to a detected signal from said color temperature measuring device, said optimal integration value being determined by comparing a detected signal from said color temperature measuring device with said set of optimal integration values stored in said data table.
