ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for measuring a range to a subject comprising a first optical system for forming a first stationary image of the subject on a first photosensitive element such as a photosensor array, a second optical system for forming a second image of the subject on a second photosensitive element, said second image being shifted with respect to the first stationary image by rotating a rotatable scanning mirror of the second optical system, and a pin hole member having first and second pin holes formed therein and arranged in front of the first and second photosensitive elements in such a manner that the pin hole member can be moved in a direction parallel to optical axes of the first and second photosensitive elements as well as in a plane perpendicular to the optical axis so as to change a size and a position of a range measuring area with respect to a field of view. When the apparatus is installed in an automatically focusing camera, the scanning mirror is rotated in cooperation with a camera lens which is brought into an in-focused position with respect to the subject when the first and second images impinging upon the first and second photosensor arrays are most alike.
