A focus adjustment device arranged to measure distances at a plurality of points on a picture plane specified by an optical means to be focus-adjusted and to adjust focus of the optical means on the basis of the results of distance measurement includes: selecting circuitry for selecting information on the nearest of measured distances obtained at the plurality of points, and restricting circuitry for restricting a selecting action of the selecting circuitry according to the nearness degree of the nearest distance in relation to the focal length of the optical means, the position of the distance measuring point on the picture plane, etc.
摘要:
A focus detecting device of the type in which the amount of focus adjustment is found from the amount of image deviation between object images formed on first and second sensor arrays. The magnitude of the regularity of the image pattern or the magnitude of the brightness/darkness deviation rate or the shape similarity is discriminated and light projection means is operated when the regularity is great or when the brightness/darkness deviation rate or the shape similarity is small.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a data processing apparatus for a camera in which correction data for shading correction or the like is stored in a memory and an output formed by a photo-taking information forming circuit such as a sensor and the correction data are operated to thereby accomplish the photo-taking processing on the basis of the operational output. When the data stored in the memory is read out and the operation processing is effected, if an error is contained in the read-out data, the data is subjected to revision processing to thereby correct the error, and then the operation processing is accomplished.

A camera for detecting the line-of-sight of a user includes a photographing controller for performing a continuous shot operation in which a photographing operation is repeated continuously while a release button is pressed, a line-of-sight detector for detecting the position of the user's line-of-sight, a line-of-sight detection controller for operating the line-of-sight detector for every photographing operation, a focus detector for performing a focus detecting operation based on the position of the line-of-sight detected by the line-of-sight detector, a determinator for determining whether the result of focus detection by the focus detector is appropriate, and a focus detection controller for operating the focus detector without operating the line-of-sight detector if the determinator determines that the result of focus detection is inappropriate.
摘要:
An autofocus apparatus for use with a light projection device which projects light to an object, and a storage sensor which alternately receives light reflected from the object when the light is projected onto the object and when the light is not projected onto the object includes an extraction circuit for extracting from the storage sensor (1) a first sensor output corresponding to when the light is projected onto the object, and (2) a second sensor output corresponding to when the light is not projected onto the object. A setting circuit is provided for setting the sensor in an initial state every time the extraction circuit extracts an output signal from the storage sensor. A control circuit is provided for calculating a difference between the first and second sensor signals and providing an output signal corresponding to the difference.

摘要:
A focus detecting apparatus detecting focus to a plurality of areas receives outputs from a plurality of sensors. A processing circuit evaluates the plurality of output signals from the respective plurality of sensors, and independently evaluates whether or not each of the output signals fulfills each of a plurality of predetermined judgement conditions. A selection circuit (i) determines the total number of judgement conditions fullfilled by each of the output signals, (ii) selects the output from one of the plurality of sensors on the basis of the determination.
