ABSTRACT:
A distance measuring apparatus for a camera comprises a light projecting device for projecting light to an object to be photographed, a light receiving circuit for receiving light projected by the light projecting device and reflected by the object to be photographed and for converting the reflected light into first and second output signals, a first selecting device for selecting the first output signal, and a second selecting device for selecting one of the first and second output signals. A first signal processing circuit is connected to the first selecting device for processing the output signal selected by the first selecting device. A second signal processing circuit is connected to the second selecting device for processing the output signal selected by the second selecting device. A first memory stores output signals of the first and second signal processing circuits, the output signals being generated upon operation of the light projecting device when the first selecting device selects the first output signal and the second selecting device selects the second output signal. A second memory stores output signals of the first and second signal processing circuits, the output signals being generated upon operation of the light projecting device when the first and the second selecting devices both select the first output signal. A calculation circuit calculates a distance to the object to be photographed by adjusting an output of the first memory by an output of the second memory.
