PURPOSE:To surely and with satisfactory operability execute an input of an operation command signal of a cemera by providing an eyes detecting device, and fixing and inputting an eyes detecting position by a signal by a release pre-stage operation. CONSTITUTION:A position of the first Purkinje image can be derived from the maximum peak which appears locally in a pupil dark part, therefore, a rotational state of an eyeball, accordingly, the direction of eyes can be known by a relative position relation of said position and the front pupil center. This method is executed by a microcomputer (mc) to which an output of a photoelectric converter 14 is inputted, a focus detection value in a distance measuring position corresponding to an observer's eyes direction is calculated by the microcomputer (mc) from an output of a focus detecting device 6a, and by driving a driving mechanism 4c in accordance with a calculated value, an objective lens 1 can be brought to focusing. In such a way, a camera which is brought to eyes control for switching a distance measuring point of an automatic focus detection by the obtained eyes direction is obtained. |
