Abstract
The present invention relates to a light-sensing circuit used in a so-called light regulating type flash device to automatically control the amount of flash emitted. In the present invention, a flash photographing with an appropriate exposure is done, securing such flash amount as providing appropriate exposure always regardless of the position of an object in a photographing frame. This is done by making light-sensing for each of different zones independently using a plural number of light-sensing circuits for stopping the flashing by the output of the one light-sensing circuit reaching a prescribed level of output from the different light-sensing circuits.
