To perform photometry in a plurality of divided areas in the photometry area by dividing a field to be photographed into a plurality of areas in a two-dimensional form, making respective divided areas correspond to respective photoelectric transducers, guiding luminous flux from the respective divided areas to corresponding photoelectric transducers and setting an optimum photometry area according to the change of photographing conditions from a tele-photographing to a close-photographing.

This device is provided with a photoelectric transducer string 61 in which a plurality of photoelectric transducers 11-15 to 51-55 are arranged in a one- dimentional form and optical systems 63, 70 divinding the field to be photographed into plural areas in the two-dimensional form and making respective divided areas correspond to respective photoelectric transducers 11-15 to 51-55 and guiding luminous flux from respective divided areas to corresponding photoelectric transducers 11-15 to 51-55. Thus, the optimum photometry area in accordance with the photographing conditions from the tele-photographing to the close-photographing is set by using inexpensive one-dimension shaped electric charged accumulation type photoelectric transducers 11-15∼51-55 and the photometry is performed by diving the photometry area arbitrarily.
