ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an improvement in an automatic focusing system for use with an ptical instrument having a focusable objective which is adjustable in response to optical and electronic components of the system for determining object distance of a remote subject by comparing images of scanning and reference optical systems. The scanner of the optical system is driven oscillatably across an angle to detect a subject between infinity and the minimum focus condition of the objective lens. The present invention relates to improvements in an automatic focusing system for use with an optical instrument having a focusable objective. More particularly, the improvement relates to optically correcting the images transmitted via the optical system to overcome problems of asymmetry of image position and/or intensity.
