[Effects of the Invention 13 - 14 The automatic focusing device for a camera according to the present invention includes a motor capable of forward and reverse rotation, a driving member operated by the motor, and a driving member that operates in accordance with the driving member to move a photographic lens. The distance member that is set to the initial position and is fed out, the distance member locking mechanism that locks the distance member at a predetermined extended position, and the position of the drive member at the operation monitoring point of the drive unit 4o are confirmed and the position is drive unit +,1 position confirmation means for outputting a confirmation signal; and distance member sequence analysis means for analyzing a sequence from a starting position of the distance part phase at the initial position to being restrained at the predetermined extended position. Because of this structure, the position of the driving member can be confirmed from the sequence monitoring point, and abnormal operation can be prevented. Further, there is an effect that the focusing operation stroke related to the distance member locking mechanism can be reduced.
