ABSTRACT:
In a focus detection system for detecting focus condition of an objective lens, there is disposed a pair of photo sensor arrays each having a plurality of photo cells lined up in one diection to receive a first image and second image passed through respectively a lens system and the photo sensor arrays produce first original signal groups and second original signal groups each signal groups corresponding to light intensity of the images projected thereto. A processing device processes the original signal groups in such a manner that the first original signal groups are respectively divided into a plurality of blocks, and one of the blocks of the first original signal groups is selected and it is detected that in what group in the selected block best coincidence occurs.
