ABSTRACT:
An automatic imaging lens focusing device comprises a detector for detecting a near focus state, a far focus state or an in-focus state of an imaging lens to an object and producing a corresponding signal, a driver for driving the imaging lens in accordance with the signal from the detector, a lens position detector for detecting a position of the imaging lens, a memory for storing two lens positions detected by the lens position detection means in response to a store signal, a switch for producing the store signal and a control circuit for permitting the operation of the driver between the two lens positions stored in the memory while inhibiting the driver operation beyond the stored lens positions.
