ABSTRACT:
An automatic focussing adjusting device which detects the amount of de-focussing of an image of an object to perform an automatic focussing adjustment of a taking lens of a camera including a zoom lens. The magnification m of a group of magnification varying lenses in the zoom lens is corrected and the amount of movement .DELTA.X of a group of focus lenses necessary for focussing is calculated based on a corrected magnification .alpha..multidot.m, so that a focussing adjustment can be executed. Also, an error in the amount of de-focussing, caused by manufacturing errors in dimensions defining a positional relationship between line sensors and a group of microscopic lenses in a focus detect element is corrected, and based on a correctively calculated amount of de-focussing .beta..multidot..DELTA.P, a focussing adjustment is performed.
