Method and device for configuring photographing parameters and terminal device

The invention discloses a method and a device for configuring photographing parameters and a terminal device. The method comprises the steps that reference photographing values sent by a control terminal are received; the photographing parameters are configured according to the received reference photographing values. In the embodiment, photometry of a photographed object is completed by the control terminal, a controlled terminal configures the photographing parameters according to the reference photographing values sent by the control terminal, and photographing efficiency of the controlled terminal is improved. In addition, the control terminal can move, and various photometry data can be provided according to requirements of users; for example, when the control terminal gets close to the photographed object, accuracy of the photometry data of the photographed object can be improved greatly, and accurate reference is provided for photographing of the controlled terminal.
