ABSTRACT:
In a focus adjusting device having a light projecting source for projecting distance measuring light onto an object, a light sensing element divided into a plurality of light sensing areas for sensing the light reflected by the object, and a control member for controlling a lens to be at an in-focus position based on a signal from the light sensing element, a boundary line between the divided light sensing areas of the light sensing element is formed with a number of straight lines or curves, so that the boundary is comb-tooth formed or saw-tooth formed in such a manner that a part of one divided area is positioned in the other divided area.
