The reflectance of the clothes of the person to be photographed is measured by the measuring means including the light receiving section 27 and the reflection information is input to the arithmetic processing means 28. The arithmetic processing unit 28 arithmetically processes the reflection information obtained from the measuring unit and the basic information prepared in advance, and as a result, the control unit uses the information that is an appropriate value based on the face of the subject as control information. Output to 29.

The arithmetic processing unit 28 and the control unit 29 are built in the photographing unit 4 together with the processing unit 30, and the control unit 29 controls the light amount at the time of photographing of the photographing unit 32 via the driving unit 31 based on the control information. ing. Inside the hood 33 of the photographing unit 32, a photographing camera including a mirror 34, a filter 35, a shutter 36 and a lens 37 is arranged.

The filter 35 is moved on the optical axis by the driving means 31, and controls the amount of light input to the lens 37 in several steps. The drive unit 31 is formed of, for example, a solenoid, and adjusts the movement amount of the filter 35 by a control signal from the control unit 29 to control the light amount at the time of photographing.

By the operation of the shutter 36 controlled by the controller 29, the image of the person to be photographed 20 is directly photographed on the photographic paper 39 which is a photosensitive material.
