摘要： A focus detecting device for detecting images from different pupil areas on time-shared basis, and detecting the phase difference of the images from the different areas, thereby detecting the defocus amount, is described. The focus detecting device of this type is incapable of exact defocus amount detection, because of the influence of the relative movement between the object and the photographing optical system. The exact defocus amount can be determined by detecting images from a same pupil area on time-shared basis, determining the phase difference between such images and effecting correction corresponding to the phase difference between the images from the same pupil area.

摘要： An auto focusing device or a camera including such a device has a focus detecting circuit for detecting the defocus states of a plurality of objects. A calculation circuit calculates a lens position and an aperture value which are capable of placing at least two of the plurality of objects in focus on the basis of the detected defocus states. When a defocus amount difference between the two objects is outside of a predetermined range, the calculation circuit calculates a lens position capable of placing two other objects, the defocused amount difference between which is within the predetermined range, in focus.
