Abstract

First and second light distributions having their relative positional relation varying in conformity with the focus adjusted state of an objective optical system and based on an object are received by a plurality of picture elements, and the range of use of the picture element row can be changed when a value indicative of the focus adjusted state is calculated by the use of the signals from the picture elements.
