A plurality of photosensors are provided as light measuring elements at respectively different positions within a space between an optical unit and an image sensor so as to be outside the optical path of the direct light from a photographic subject entering through an optical unit. The plurality of photosensors detect the brightness of the image sensing surface of the image sensor during photoelectric conversion by the image sensor. For this reason a light adjusting controller is capable of performing light adjusting control simultaneously with a main photography operation by controlling the flash emission based on the amount of light detected by the plurality of photosensors during image sensing.
