<p>A focus detecting device for a camera and the like, capable of detecting a focus at a position vertically spaced apart from the optical axis of a taking lens indepednently of the position of an exit pupil of an interchangeable taking lens. The range of a detected picture image used for the focus detecting is restricted to a region smaller than the range of a detected picture image used in the conventional refocusing type camera, setting of the used region on an image sensor is changed in accordance with the position of the exit pupil of the taking lens and the position of an aperture of a refocusing lens (a position spaced vertically apart from the optical axis), namely, a region changing means is provided for changing the setting of an image shift calculation region where the image shifts are compared with each other, thereby enabling the detection of the focus with no eclipse.</p> |
