ABSTRACT:
In a focusing state detector, a light beam transmitted through a photographing lens is divided into three light beams in three regions through a condenser lens and three converting optical systems. The three light beams are focused and formed as an image on three photoelectric converting portions and are photoelectrically converted to three kinds of electric signals. A correction calculator receives data of an integral time ratio provided by a charge coupled device at a plurality of time points from a correction coefficient calculator. The correction calculator corrects image data obtained by the three photoelectric converting portions by using a correction coefficient according to the integral time ratio. A phase difference calculator receives the corrected image data of the correction calculator and provides phase difference data. The focusing state of a lens system is accurately detected even when a photographed object is moved in a direction perpendicular to an optical axis of the lens system in a plurality of detections of the detecting state and a brightness distribution of the photographed object is changed.
