Abstract

Focus detecting device comprises a focus detecting optical system for guiding the light from an object onto a focus detecting plane, focus detecting means for identifying the focusing state from the image of the object formed on the focus detecting plane, means for generating a signal corresponding to the controlled actual F-number of the photographic optical system, means for generating a correction signal corresponding to the displacement of the optimum image plane of the photographing optical system according to the change of the controlled F-number, and means for correcting the output signal of the focus detecting means according to the correction signal.
