ABSTRACT:
A focusing controller for photographic apparatuses includes: a distance meter which detects film-to-object distance to calculate and emit a distance signal; a lens shifting distance calculating device which calculates a lens shifting distance for effecting focusing in a focusing optical system on the basis of the distance signal by using one or two or more linear expressions; and a driving device for driving the focusing optical system in accordance with the lens shifting distance; the focusing controller allowing both the lens shifting amount for the focusing optical system and the reciprocal of film-to-object distance to be set at equal intervals.
