ABSTRACT:
A focus detecting device for a camera utilizing auxiliary illumination, comprises a sensor for detecting the image of a photographic object, a first light emitter for projecting a first auxiliary light toward the object, a second light emitter for projecting a second auxiliary light toward the object. The second auxiliary light illuminates a smaller area than the first auxiliary light. The first and second light emitters are selectively driven in response to brightness of the object, thereby to produce a contrasty light image onto the object.
