Abstract
A novel photometric circuit for a camera is disclosed wherein the operational amplifiers common to conventional photometric circuits are eliminated from that part of the circuit which solves the exposure Apex indication equation: S.sub.v + B.sub.v = A.sub.v + T.sub.v. The variable resistors which are used to convert the film sensitivity and aperature settings into electrical quantities are positioned in the feedback circuit of the transistor which is connected to the electro-optical transducer and which develops a voltage dependent upon scene brightness.
