Abstract: A camera with self-timer photographing function has a release button for a release switch operation, a self-timer photographing mode switching button, and the like. A photographing mode for a scene in which only a photographer enters a screen and a photographing mode for a scene in which a plurality of persons are an object to be photographed are switched by the mode switching button in photographing in a self-timer photographing mode. Photographing is executed by an AF (AUTOMATIC FOCUSING) operation performed a self-timer time after in the former mode, photographing is executed by an AF operation performed immediately after a release switch operation in the later ode. According to this camera, in the self-timer photographing, photographing with a correct focus for the state of an object can be always performed without checking the focus in photographing or checking a distance measurement target in a finder.

Abstract: A light-emitting section projects distance measurement light toward an object to be photographed. A switching section sequentially switches the projection direction of the distance measurement light projected from the light-emitting section. A first light-receiving section is arranged at a position separated from the light-emitting section by a first base length. The first light-receiving section receives a reflected light beam of the distance measurement light from the object and outputs a first signal corresponding to the incident position of the reflected light beam. The second light-receiving section receives a reflected light beam of the distance measurement light from the object and outputs a second signal corresponding to the incident position of the reflected light beam. An object distance calculating section calculates the object distance in accordance with first and second signals corresponding to the incident positions and output from the first and second light-receiving sections.
