ABSTRACT:
The disclosed automatic focusing device measures distances by repeatly illuminating an object to the photographed with an auxiliary light. Upon detection of an in-focus state, either the auxiliary light illumination is inhibited or the auxiliary light driving cycle is made longer than the cycle used in a de-focus condition, so that the waste of electric energy is minimized.
