Abstract

An exposure control system includes a pulsed light source; a photoelectric converting device for receiving a portion of pulsed light from the pulsed light source and for producing a photoelectric signal; an integration gate producing device for producing an integration gate signal after a predetermined specified time from the production of an emission synchronization signal related to the pulsed light source, wherein the specified time is set to be not greater than a delay time from the production of the emission synchronization signal to the start of actual emission of the pulsed light source; and integrating device for integrating the photoelectric signal from the photoelectric converting device during a time period in which the integration gate producing device produces the integration gate signal; and a control device for integrating a resultant of the integration by the integrating device each time one pulse light is emitted, the control device discriminating whether the result of integration is less than a predetermined or not, each time one pulse light is emitted, and the control device stopping the emission of the pulsed light when the result of integration becomes not less…
