摘要:
A camera incorporating an automatic focusing apparatus capable of performing a so-called searching operation in which, when focus detecting becomes impossible, a lens is moved from a nearest end to an infinite end to detect a position of an object to be photographed and, more particularly, to improve operability of a camera having a searching operation function by preventing the searching operation after an in-focus state is obtained.
摘要:
A focus detection system for detecting a focus state of an object lens, includes an optical device for forming first and second light distributions corresponding to first and second images having light fluxes passing through the different parts of a pupila of the object lens. The positional relationship between the two light distributions varies in accordance with the focus state of the object lens. First and second sensors sense the first and second light distributions. A signal processor for processing output signals from the first and second sensors detect the focus state of the object lens in accordance with the positional relationships between the two light distributions. The signal processor processes the signals from the first and second sensors in accordance with a predetermined formula to obtain the positional relationship between the two images to determine a degree of coincidence of the two light distributions. The signal processing means provides an output signal in accordance with the degree of coincidence of the two light distributions.
摘要:
A focus detecting device in which the in-focus range, within which the result of focus detection is regarded as being in the in-focus state, is made greater than usual when the photo-taking lens is in the infinity movable limit position. The in-focus range is set to a greater value when the lens is in the infinity movable limit position and is detected as being in focus as a result of the earlier focus detection. Thus, it is made easy to effect the in-focus state when the lens is in the limit position.
摘要:
Light intensity distributions of object images whose relative positions vary with a focusing state of an objective lens are formed by a lens assembly based on light fluxes transmitted through the objective lens, and the distributions are sensed by sensing devices having a plurality of photo-sensors to produce first and second signals for the respective light intensity distributions. The first and second signals are processed by relatively displacing the first and second signals under a first relationship and by relatively displacing the first and second signals under a second relationship different from the first relationship to determine a relative positional relationship of the light intensity distributions. If there is identical or essentially identical portion is found in the processing of the first signal and the second signal, the previous processing result is utilized to shorten the processing time.
摘要:
A camera having a focus state detection device, or more particularly a camera which effects searching to escape from disability of focus state detection by reciprocating a lens at least one reciprocation when the camera cannot detect the focus state, is disclosed. Once the searching has been effected, further searching is inhibited until in-focus or near in-focus state is attained in the focusing operation.

A focus detection system includes an object lens for focusing an image of an object, a refocusing optical system for refocusing a plurality of component image having parallax from the image of the image, a view field mask arranged between the object lens and the refocusing optical system and having a laterally extending aperture, and a sensing device having a photo-sensor array for sensing the component images. Focus detection error is prevented by determining a sense area of the photo-sensor array in accordance with a distortion created in an aperture image by the refocusing optical system.

In an apparatus wherein on the basis of a light passing through an objective lens, a plurality of images whose relative positional relation varies in accordance with the focus state of the objective lens are formed and these images are detected by photoelectric conversion element arrays and a predetermined operation is effected by the use of a plurality of photoelectrically converted signals obtained correspondingly to the respective images to thereby detect the focus state of the objective lens, there are provided first adder means for comparing the photoelectrically converted signals of the respective images in a predetermined relation and adding the smaller signal and second adder means for comparing the photoelectrically connected signals of the respective images in a predetermined relation and adding the greater signal and focus detection is effected by utilization of the result of the addition of one of the first and second adder means in accordance with the object condition, whereby accurate focus detection is made possible for any object.
摘要:
When the disclosed automatic focusing device detects that a computed distance measurement is inaccurate, it shifts the lens a predetermined length to a new position for another measurement. A system senses when the inaccuracy arises from an overly dim scene, for which a distance cannot be properly measured in any case, and inhibits the successive shifts to avoid waste of energy.
