ABSTRACT:
A distance measuring apparatus uses both active and passive distance measuring methods. A preferable distance measuring method is selected based upon the luminance of the field and the distance to the object unless a focus lock switch is switched. When the focus lock switch is switched, then a distance measurement using the active distance measuring method is selected.
