Abstract

An automatic focusing device which comprises a defocus amount detecting unit for detecting a defocus amount attributable to a first optical system of an interchangeable lens assembly and a second optical system of an AF convertor, a converting circuit for converting the defocus amount into a data corresponding to a focusing amount of the second optical system which varies in non-linear relationship to the defocus amount, and an optical drive unit for moving the second optical system on the basis of a data representative of the focusing amount supplied from the converting circuit.
