ABSTRACT:
An automatic focusing imaging device basically comprises an imaging element for applying photoelectric conversion to an image pick-up light from an object formed by a lens system, an extraction circuit for extracting, as an analog signal, a high frequency band component of the video signal, an analog/digital (A/D) conversion circuit for converting the extracted analog signal to a digital signal, a calculation circuit responsive to the digital signal to calculate in advance an in-focus position in the lens system and the imaging element so that the high frequency band component has a maximum level to generate a control signal, a drive mechanism for moving the lens system and/or the imaging element by the control signal, and a non-linear conversion circuit provided at the preceding stage of the A/D conversion circuit and for correcting in advance deterioration of quantization resolution of the high frequency band component in calculation of the in-focus position.
