ABSTRACT:
An automatic focusing device which uses a video aperture signal in low contrast situations includes an extraction circuit for extracting a signal corresponding to a degree of focus from an input image signal. A focus control circuit is provided for detecting a focus state from the signal extracted from the extraction circuit, and for providing a driving signal for driving a focusing lens on the basis of the results of the detection. A determination circuit is provided for determining whether the image signal has a low contrast. An aperture signal extraction circuit extracts a video aperture signal from the input image signal. Control circuitry is provided for supplying the aperture signal output from the aperture signal extraction circuit to the focus control circuit on the basis of the results of the determination by the determination circuit.
