    摘要: An auto-focus apparatus which has different levels for determining whether to emit an auxiliary focusing light and whether to inhibit the focusing operation is operative with a light-receiving sensor for receiving light reflected by the object and performs a focusing operation on the basis of the output from the sensor. A processing circuit is provided for executing signal processing on the basis of the output from the sensor. The processing circuit outputs an instruction signal for activating a focusing light projector when a characteristic value for focusing (e.g., contrast) based on the output from the sensor falls within a first range. The processing circuit detects the output from the sensor in a state where light is being projected by the light projector. The processing circuit inhibits the focusing operation based on the output from the sensor when the characteristic value falls within a second range which is within the first range.

    摘要: An automatic focussing apparatus having a plurality of sensors of the signal accumulation type includes a plurality of accumulation-type sensor sections for respectively receiving light from different object areas. Each sensor section produces, in response to a first signal, a signal which is variable in accordance with an amount of light received thereby. The signal produced by each sensor section is independently output to a signal processing circuit through an output terminal portion in response to a second signal. A control circuit supplies the first signal to each sensor section substantially at the same time, and monitors a signal producing state of each sensor section independently. The control circuit then supplies the second signal to the sensor section which reaches a predetermined monitoring state.
