Abstract:
A device for adjusting the focus adjusting state of an objective lens includes a lens assembly having a field lens located in the vicinity of a predetermined imaging plane of the objective lens, and a pair of secondary imaging lenses. A line connecting the optical axes of the pair of secondary imaging lenses is located off the optical axis of the objective lens. A main body is provided for supporting the lens assembly and a light receiving sensor device is provided for receiving light distributions passing through the pair of secondary imaging lenses. A holding structure is provided for movably supporting the light receiving sensor device on the main body. Such structure allows accurate focusing of objects both on and off the optical axis of the objective lens.

Abstract:
In a focus detecting device, a plurality of distributions of quantity of light regarding the image of an object to be photographed are formed by optical means disposed on the image plane side of an objective lens by the use of light beams passed through different areas of the pupil of the objective lens. The relative positional relation between the plurality of distributions of quantity of light is found by light receiving means, and the in-focus state of the objective lens is found by the use of a signal from the light receiving means. The optical means has at least three pairs of secondary imaging lenses each forming a pair of light distributions corresponding to the image of the object to be photographed, and is constructed so that at least two of the light segments passing through the vertices of the lens surfaces of the pairs of secondary imaging lenses intersect each other and at least one other light segment does not intersect.

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.

Abstract:
The disclosed light measuring arrangement is positioned to receive and measure light from a focusing screen on which a display of focusing conditions is superimposed. A correcting circuit corrects the object brightness sensed by the light measuring arrangement. When display segments of the display are selectively switched on and off, the correcting circuit produces an output signal representing a corresponding brightness correction factor which is applied to the light measuring arrangement.
