摘要:
A focus detecting device switchable between an active and a passive mode has a passive mode in which light from an object is accumulated in a light accumulation type receiving portion without light from a light source being projected onto the object, and an active mode in which light from a light source is projected onto the object. The light accumulated in the accumulation type receiving portion is used to effect focus detection. An accumulating control circuit is provided for controlling the accumulation operation performed by the light receiving portion. A processing circuit is provided for performing the focus detection calculations on the basis of the accumulated output of the light receiving portion as controlled by the control circuit. A change-over circuit is provided for automatically changing between the passive and active modes on the basis of the accumulation state during the accumulating operation before the control of the accumulation operation by the control circuit is terminated.

A focusing detecting device is disclosed having apparatus for forming object light patterns whose relative position changes in conformity with a focus state of an objective lens. Light flux passes through different areas of an exit pupil of the objective lens, and circuitry receives and photoelectrically converts the light patterns, and detects the focus state of the objective lens on the basis of the photoelectrically converted signal. The focusing apparatus accroding to the present invention a plurality of sets of structures for forming light patterns and means for photoelectrically converting the light patterns which are provided at different distances from the position of the optic axis of the objective lens. Also disclosed are means for making (a) the shapes of the areas of the exit pupil through which the light flux is passed to form the light patterns, or (b) intervals between the centers of gravity of said areas, or (c) both, different between a position in the vicinity of the optic axis of the objective lens, and a position distant therefrom.

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.
