Abstract
An electronic still camera having an optical system suitable for TTL direct dimming and capable of disposing a dimming sensor at a suitable position in a main body of the camera. A part of a light reflected by a subject and passing through a taking lens during stroboscopic photographing is diverged by a beam splitter provided on the optical axis of the taking lens and caused to fall into a half mirror. The reflected light diverged by this half mirror is led to the dimming sensor 34, and the transmitted light is led to an AE sensor via a focusing lens. With this arrangement, the dimming sensor can be provided in a position other than the vicinity of a taking shutter and the TTL direct dimming can be conducted.
