ABSTRACT:
A focus detection apparatus that detects focusing conditions among multiple viewing areas within an image plane of a camera in order to guarantee equal focusing precision among the multiple viewing areas. The focus detection apparatus includes an aperture mask, a secondary imaging lens, and a line sensor which are assembled as a sub-unit. Each area of a multitude of viewing areas is provided with such a sub-unit to perform cross-eye adjustments. Finally, each sub-unit is aligned for installation on a main unit that is equipped with a field lens in order to perform pupil exit adjustments independently for each of the aforementioned viewing areas.
