ABSTRACT:
In the disclosed distance measuring device a light source projects a light on an object to be photographed and at least two photo-electric converters each with several light receiving areas receive light reflected by the object. The quantity of electric charge on these areas varies with the quantity of light incident thereon. An electric charge storage stores the electric charges produced at the two converters and a control determines the operation of the light receiving areas of the photo-electric converters according to the electric charge information produced.
