A focus detecting device for detecting a focus condition of a photographic lens by receiving light coming from a plurality of focus detecting area and auxiliary illuminating device therefor. The illuminating device is provided with a light source, a projection pattern disposed just before the light source for providing a sufficient contrast onto an object and a projection lens. The light source is composed of plural condenser lenses arranged in a row and plural light emitting elements arranged behind the condenser lenses at intervals wider than the spacing of adjacent condenser lenses, whereby an object of a wide range is illuminated uniformly. The projection pattern comprises small-size patterns suitable for photographic lenses of long focal lengths, arranged centrally of the projection pattern, and large-size patterns suitable for photographic lenses of short focal lengths, arranged in the outer peripheral portion of the projection pattern. Further, the projection pattern has a curved shape to compensate astigmatism characteristics of the projection lens.
