ABSTRACT:
An optical apparatus comprises a first lens to be used for changing a magnifying power; a second lens to be used for focus adjustment and also for compensation required when the magnifying power is varied; a focus detecting circuit for detecting an in-focus state; a first control circuit for driving the second lens to an in-focus position on the basis of information obtained by the focus detecting circuit; a detecting circuit for detecting the position of the second lens; and a second control circuit for driving the second lens to a normal focus adjustable position after driving the second lens to a reset position for the purpose of enabling the detecting circuit to perform a detecting action. The second control circuit is arranged to drive the second lens from the reset position to the focus adjustable position at a higher speed than the driving speed set by the first control circuit.
