PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a focus detector capable of easily and exactly detecting a focus position in the wide area of a subject without spoiling the interchangeability of a lens. SOLUTION: The focus detector is equipped with: an image re-forming lens (103) for forming again an image of an image formed by a photographic lens (201); a shutter means (102) for making beams passing at least two nonidentical areas of the image re-forming lens selectively pass through; an imaging means (104) for receiving two beams passing the shutter means in a time-division manner; and a focus state detection means (108) for detecting the focus state of the photographic lens on the basis of the two beams received by the imaging means. The areas where the beams passing at least two nonidentical areas of the image reforming lens are guided to the imaging means are at least partially superposed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
