A camera including a first and second luminance detector, a distance detector and a calculator. The first luminance detector, having a first spectral sensitivity and receiving light from a larger region of a photographing view, generates a first luminance information. The distance detector, having a second spectral sensitivity and receiving light from a smaller region of the photographing view, generates a distance information concerning a distance to an object. The second luminance detector generates a second luminance information based on the received light of the distance detector. The calculator calculates a control luminance value for exposure control based on the first luminance information and the second luminance information when the first luminance information is above a predetermined threshold value. In addition, the calculator calculates a control luminance value based on the first luminance information when the first luminance information is below the predetermined threshold value.

[ What is claimed is:] [15.]15. A camera comprising:a distance detector which includes a sensor provided with image pick-up elements for picking up an object image, said distance detector generates a distance information concerning a distance to each of a plurality of first divisions of the picked up image, and generates luminance information based on respective outputs of a plurality of second divisions of the picked up image by said image pickup element, said second divisions being different from said first divisions; anda luminance calculator which calculates light measurement information for exposure control based on said luminance information.
