ABSTRACT:
A distance measuring device for a camera of the kind measuring distances to a plurality of spots within a photo-taking image plane gives accurate data of distance measurement. The device comprises in combination signal projecting means arranged to project a distance measuring signal onto the spots of the image plane one after another; signal receiving means arranged to receive a reflection signal resulting from the distance measuring signal and to produce measured distance data one after another according to the part thereof at which the reflection signal is received; and measured distance data selection means arranged to select, from among the measured distance data obtained one after another from the signal receiving means, a data fluctuating to a less degree than a predetermined value as an effective measured distance data.
