A pre-measurement of the subject brightness is performed with a preset aperture value and a preset shutter speed, and a main measurement is performed with a combination of an aperture value and a shutter speed that are determined based on the result of the pre-measurement in accordance with a program for the main measurement, wherein the aperture value is selected from among a relatively small number of predetermined aperture values. Thereafter, a combination of an aperture value and a shutter speed for photographing is determined based on the result of the main measurement in accordance with another program, wherein the aperture value is selected among a larger number of predetermined aperture values, so that the number of changing aperture value and thus the time lag are remarkably reduced while achieving an accurate exposure control.
