CAMERA WITH AUTOMATIC FOCUS ADJUSTING DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE:To take an in-focus photograph without any special operation by regarding part of the driving range of a photographic lens at the infinite range side as a lens driving inhibition area during flash photography. CONSTITUTION:The output of a range finding means 1 which generates a signal regarding the range from a camera body to a subject is connected to an adjusting means 3 which drives the photographic lens 2 on the basis of said signal. The output of a photographic mode detecting means 5 which detects the flash photographic mode in which a flash device 4 is used is connected to a lens driving inhibiting means 6 which sets part of the driving range of the photographic lens at the infinite range side by the adjusting means as the inhibition area in flash photographic mode. When the flash photographic mode detecting means 5 detects the flash photographic mode, the lens is inhibited by the lens driving inhibiting means from being driven within part of the driving range of the photographic lens 2 by the adjusting means 3.
