Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an automatic exposure method of a digital photographic device, in particular to a control with weighting, which can easily change the exposure strategy and cause exposure An automatic exposure method for digital photographic devices with more accurate, less computationally intensive, and faster calculations. [Prior Art] According to 'In digital photography equipment, we use the iris (Iris) to adjust the amount of light entering the digital camera. This has caused the image to be displayed without being overexposed to a white state or due to insufficient exposure. Forming a state of lacquer zero; in addition to adjusting the aperture, we can also change the sensor's sensitization value (ISO) and adjust the exposure time (Exposure time) to get the amount of light. Due to the considerable variation in the control exposure (Iris, ISO, Exposure time, etc.), the automatic exposure of the multi-variable automatic nose method becomes very complicated, and the automatic exposure algorithm If it is too complicated, it will make the automatic exposure algorithm difficult to develop, and it will be difficult to maintain and not easy to commercialize. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of this, the present invention provides an automatic exposure method for a digital photographing apparatus, which is matched with weighting control so that the exposure strategy can be easily changed, and when the user puts one of them When the above variation is set to manual, the automatic exposure method of the present invention can still calculate a new exposure strategy according to the weighting value to obtain an appropriate exposure amount; and, in terms of the prediction function, use a table query instead. For complex calculations, the table is obtained by measuring 1288293 according to the digital camera's characteristic curve. This method will be more accurate, less computationally intensive and faster than the mathematically calculated prediction. To achieve the above object, the automatic exposure method of the digital camera of the present invention is implemented by the following steps: (A) establishing a prediction table according to the characteristic curve of the digital camera, and using the current brightness value as a reference value to check the distance The required correction step number of the target brightness; (β) establishes an exposure time table according to the Exposure Value (EV) and defines a weighting value (Weighting) of each exposure time; (C) establishes a photosensitive value table according to the exposure value and Define the weighting value of each photosensitive value (Weighting); (D) Establish the aperture table according to the exposure value and define the weighting value of each aperture (Weighting); (E) Select a value from each of the exposure time table, the sensitization table, and the aperture table. To initialize the settings and calculate the exposure value; (F) capture an image from the sensor in the digital camera and count the brightness of the image; (G) enter the prediction of the brightness of the statistical image (A) The table obtains the required number of correction steps from the target brightness; (1) when the required correction step number from the target brightness is converged, indicating that the automatic exposure is completed, and the exposure value is used The best exposure value for the environment at the time. In addition, when the required correction step number of the target distance exemption is not convergent, the following steps are continued: (1) The required exposure step number of the previous exposure value plus the distance target brightness is the new exposure value; 6 1288293 (J) Convert exposure time (Exposure time), sensitization (ISO), aperture (Iris) according to the new exposure value, and calculate the total weighting value (Weighting simmation). The same exposure value may have multiple sets of different settings. The optimal setting is determined by the weighting summation, and the optimal exposure time (Exp〇sure time), sensitization (ISO), and iris (iris) are set to the digital photographic device. If more than one variable is set to manual, the variable is fixed; (K) according to the setting of (J), an image is captured by the sensor in the digital camera, and the brightness of the image is counted; ) Repeat (G) ~ (K) ' until the auto exposure converges. [Embodiment] For a more complete and clear disclosure of the technical means, the purpose of creation and the success of the present invention, the following is a detailed description, and please refer to the attached drawings and drawings. Referring to the first figure, the automatic exposure method of the digital camera of the present invention comprises the following steps: (A) establishing a prediction table according to the characteristics of the digital camera, and using the current duty value as a reference value to check the distance target The required correction step number of brightness; assuming that the image brightness of the digital camera device is normalized to 0 to 255, the digital camera device characteristics can be established as shown in the second figure. If the number of steps is zero, it means that the automatic exposure has converged, so the convergence range of the brightness in the prediction table shown in the second figure is the image brightness is 97 101; (B) The exposure time table and definition are established according to the exposure value. Adding 7 1288293 weighting time for each exposure time, as shown in the third figure, is the exposure time table established by the available exposure time of the digital camera; the exposure value EV=—Log2 (Exposure time); (C) establish a sensitization value table according to the exposure value and define a weighting value of each sensitized value, as shown in the fourth figure, which is a hypothetical digital photographic device A table of sensitization values established by the sensitization value (ISO); where, ~ exposure value EV = - Log2 (ISO/100); (D) The aperture table is established according to the exposure value and the weighting value (Weighting) of each aperture is defined, such as The five figures show the aperture table created by the aperture (Iris) available to the hypothetical digital camera; where the exposure value is EV=2Log2 ( Iris); (E) from the exposure time table, the sensitization table, and the aperture table Select a value as the initial setting and calculate the current exposure value; (F) capture an image from the sensor in the digital camera and count the brightness of the image; (G) input the brightness of the statistical image ( A) The prediction table created by the step obtains the required correction step number from the target brightness; (H) When the required correction step number from the target brightness is zero, the automatic exposure converges and the automatic exposure is completed, and The exposure value is the optimum exposure value in the current environment. < In addition, when the required correction step number from the target brightness is not zero, the following steps are continued: # (I) Adding the exposure value to the new exposure value; The number of steps is 1284293 (J) The exposure time (Exposure time), the sensitization value (ISO), the aperture (Iris), and the weighting summation are calculated according to the new exposure value. The same exposure value may have different sets. The setting can be achieved. At this time, the optimal setting is determined by the weighting summation, and the optimal exposure time, the sensitivity value (ISO), and the aperture (Iris) are set to the digital camera. If one or more of the exposure factors are set to manual, the cause is fixed; (K) The brightness of the image is counted according to the setting of (J); (L) Repeat (G) ~ (K), Until the automatic exposure converges. In order to prove that the present invention can achieve the intended purpose, the following examples are described: [Embodiment 1] In the case of the fully automatic mode: First, the initialization setting is required to make the initial EV=3 and Previous EV=3, Exposure time: 1/16, sensitization value (iso): 1600, aperture (Iris): 2· 8, and the set exposure time (Exposure time), sensitization value (ISO ), Iris three parameters are set to the digital camera, the parameters just set are reflected in the sensor, capture an image and the brightness of the image is 149.
