Patent ID: 11006027

Abstract:
A photographing system which can securely set a manual light amount to an appropriate light emission amount after changing the manual light amount of a strobe according to a photometry result at the time of pre-light emission. In the photographing system, when a light-emission amount automatic adjustment in a metered manual starts in a manual light-emission mode after setting a light emission amount of the light-emitting part in the main light emission within a first range by a user operation in the manual light-emission mode, a main appropriate light emission amount is calculated on a basis of a photometry result before and after the pre-light emission by a photometric circuit, then in a case where the calculated main appropriate light emission amount falls within a second range and is outside the first range, the light emission amount of the light-emitting part in the main light emission is changed to the main appropriate light emission amount, wherein the second range, wherein the second range, including the first range and wider than the first range, is possible to perform automatic light adjustment in the illumination apparatus.
