て撮影レンズ1を合焦位置へ移動させている。[Prior Art] As is well known, an autofocus device (hereinafter referred to as an AF device) of an eye reflex camera uses an AF sensor unit 8 having a separator lens as shown in FIG. An AF device is used that uses a correlation method to determine the amount of focus shift from the amount of shift. That is, the light transmitted through the photographic lens 1 and imaged on a surface 2 conjugate with the film is guided by a collimator lens 3 and a field mask 4 to two separator lenses 5a and 5b, and a first photoelectric conversion pixel array consisting of a plurality of photoelectric conversion pixel rows is guided. An image sensor 6 having a light-receiving element row 6a and a second light-receiving element row 6b has an image formed on the first and second light-receiving element rows 6a and 6b by the separator lenses 5a and 5b, respectively. It is. With this AF device, the amount of deviation between the two images is 1
Taking advantage of the fact that it almost corresponds to the amount of defocus, the image sensor 6 extracts the two images as a video signal,
The amount of image shift is determined from the data, and the photographing lens 1 is moved to the in-focus position based on the calculated value. That is, the amount of deviation Δ of the subject image on the image sensor 6 from the in-focus position is calculated from the output signals from the first light receiving element row 6a and the second light receiving element row 6b of the image sensor 6, and this amount of deviation and the photographing lens Using the linear approximation relationship between l and defocus IiD, defocus ff1D is determined from the amount of deviation Δ, and the photographing lens 1 is moved to the in-focus position.

ることになる。However, in this AF device, the relationship between the amount of deviation Δ and the defocus mD is a linear approximation within the range of ±3 to 5 degrees relative to the in-focus position, but basically, Since they have a hyperbolic relationship, the relationship between the image shift amount Δ and the focus shift iD cannot be approximated to a straight line as shown in FIG. For this reason, the amount of movement of the photographic lens becomes so large that it becomes impossible to focus with a single focusing operation. In other words, when the photographing lens 1 is driven using the -th distance measurement result, the direct approximation Δ-
The photographic lens 1 will stop at a position that is too far from the in-focus position by the distance measurement error due to the difference in the Δ-D characteristic of the hyperbola with D characteristic.

のCPU7で行なわれるようになっている。FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram of an AF device to which the present invention is applied, in which light reflected from a subject that passes through a photographic lens 1 is divided by a half mirror 10, and one of the lights is transmitted through a shutter (not shown). The other light is guided to the film surface 9, and the other light is guided to the AF sensor unit 8 disposed at a position conjugate with the film surface 9. The configuration of this AF sensor unit 8 is similar to that explained in FIG.

Then, a calculation is performed to calculate the amount of deviation of the photographing lens 1 from the in-focus position using the relative positional relationship between the two images and coefficients, and a driving means (not shown) that moves the photographing lens 1 based on the amount of deviation.

This algorithm repeats an image shift detection subroutine that detects the amount of shift between two images using the distance measurement signal from the AF sensor unit 8, calculates the amount of focus shift, and moves the lens, and stores the amount of focus shift and image shift each time. After focusing on the in-focus area, perform the shutter sequence and then memorize the amount of defocus.

係数を修正する。The focus deviation measurement is also memorized in Dl, and the lens 1 is moved by D. Next, to confirm focus, the image shift amount Δ is determined again by n1, and this is stored in the next memory. If it is not in focus, the amount of focus deviation is determined, stored in the next memory, and the lens is moved by the determined value. This is repeated until the focus is within tolerance. Once the focus is within the focus tolerance, move on to the shutter sequence. Then, after the operations necessary for photographing are completed, the coefficients are self-corrected. If the number of repetitions is two or less, it is assumed that no correction is necessary and no correction is performed. Corrections are made using the first and second distance measurement data. The true amount of defocus is calculated from the total of the memorized defocus ff1D up to that time, and the current AF is calculated from that value and the amount of image deformation.
Recalculate the coefficient of time. This coefficient is weighted by 1/m to modify the coefficient.

大きくずれていても速い修正ができる。In this way, according to this embodiment, the coefficients are self-corrected when there is no effect on the photographing operability after the shutter sequence, so the focusing time becomes shorter over time, and it is also possible to adjust the coefficients due to changes in temperature characteristics. Effects can also be corrected, and accurate AF can be performed at high speed and with high reliability. Furthermore, since no adjustment is required during manufacturing, the product is inexpensive and has no variation in product quality. Furthermore,
By changing the weighting constant m by the number of repetitions, it is possible to quickly correct even if the coefficients deviate greatly.

The optical system of the F device and the configuration of each unit are similar to those of the first embodiment. In this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 3, the calculation of the focus deviation ff1D is divided into each area, and linear approximation is performed within each area to calculate the focus deviation uD from the image deviation amount Δ. Flowcharts of the algorithm are shown in FIGS. 4A to 4C.

での構成と動作は、前記第1実施例とほぼ同じである。As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 4C, the algorithm for calculating the amount of focus deviation detects the amount of image deviation Δ in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and calculates the focus deviation ff1 by the linear approximation described above.
The amount of lens movement is obtained by calculating D, and the lens is moved based on this amount. After the lens movement is completed, the image deviation amount Δ is detected again, the focus deviation ff1D is calculated, and the lens movement is repeated until the lens is brought into focus. Then, the image shift amount Δ and the focus shift QD for each repetition are recorded. The configuration and operation up to this point are almost the same as those of the first embodiment.

される。Further, if the in-focus point is reached in one focusing operation (K-1) after completing the shutter sequence after focusing, the sequence ends there. When in-focus is achieved after multiple focusing operations, the coefficients for calculating the amount of focus deviation are self-corrected. This correction data uses the image shift amount Δ and focus shift HD each time.

て説明する。The operation of the AF device of this second embodiment will be described next.
At the start, the image shift amount Δ is calculated and stored in Δ1. The focus shift mD is calculated based on the image shift amount Δ. In calculating the focus shift 2D, as shown in FIG. 4A, it is determined whether the image shift amount Δ is positive or negative. Whether the lens is extended or retracted is determined by the positive and negative signs. Furthermore, as is clear from FIG. 6, the slope differs depending on whether the amount of image shift is positive or negative (extension or retraction). As a result, calculations are performed separately into areas in the positive direction and areas in the negative direction, but since only the coefficients are different, the positive direction will be explained here as an example.
先ず、像ズレがどのエリアにあるかを判断する。First, it is determined in which area the image shift occurs.
例えば、第3図に示すように像ズレがエリア3にあると
すると、像ズレ量Δはetとe2とe3を引くまで負に

で、ピントズレff1Dを求める。像ズレ量Δが負の時
は、これらの符号が反対になる。ピントズレflDは、
更にレンズによる係数りをかけて実際に移動させる量の
ピントズレ量りになる。For example, if the image shift is in area 3 as shown in FIG. 3, the image shift amount Δ will not become negative until et, e2, and e3 are subtracted. In the area 3 routine, the out-of-focus e3 is added, the size in the area 3 is multiplied by the slope a3 in the area 3, and the out-of-focus ff1B2 up to the area 2 is added to obtain the out-of-focus ff1D. When the image shift amount Δ is negative, these signs are opposite. The focus shift flD is
This is then multiplied by a lens factor to determine the actual amount of focus shift.

ズレEilDを求める。After calculating the focus shift JuD, the shift mD is recorded and the lens is moved in the same way as in the first embodiment, and this is repeated until focusing. After focusing, a shutter sequence is performed and necessary operations of the CPU, such as exposing the film, are completed. After that, a focus calculation is performed on the image deviation detection bone to confirm whether or not the image is finally in focus (see FIG. 4C). Since the focus judgment is performed even if the focus is not necessarily perfect, the final focus deviation EilD is determined in order to reflect the deviation in the correction.

terminates the entire sequence as there is no need to modify the coefficients. If this is not the case, the inclination of the area where the Δ is present is corrected in order from the distance measurement point closest to the focal point (the one with larger K). For this correction, as shown in Figure 4B, assuming that the slope of the area with less image shift than the area to be corrected is correct, the value of the slope a that was needed this time is determined, and the coefficient a is corrected by adding a weight of 1/m. do. Further, this weighting is performed by setting the coefficient m to the number of repetitions, for example, L-3, so that the weighting is different for each area and appropriate correction can be performed. In addition, similar to the first embodiment, if there is a concern about inability or focus, such as when K exceeds a certain level, the correction may not be performed.
