ABSTRACT:
A multipoint rangefinder employs a light-emission device including a package which has a plurality of light-emission elements contained therein and mounting terminals extending therefrom, the light-emission elements being arranged in a line crossing a dimension along which mounting terminals extend. If, in mounting the rangefinder in a camera, the light-emission elements are arranged obliquely, the dimension along which the mounting terminals extend is made to coincide, for example, with the horizontal dimension. This arrangement provides various remarkable advantages. For example, it helps to avoid a substantial increase in the height of the camera housing and attain an improvement in the compactness with which the camera components are mounted, thus proving effective in camera miniaturization.
