周知である。Conventionally, in single-lens reflex cameras and the like, two object images are formed based on the respective light beams from two different parts of the pupil of the photographing lens, and the focal point of the photographing lens is determined from the relative positional relationship of the object images. A so-called image shift type focus detection device that detects the state is well known.

In this figure, O is the subject plane, 1 is a photographing lens in a single-lens reflex camera (not shown), and 3 is a schedule for the photographic lens 1. Field lenses 4 and 5 provided in the vicinity of the imaging plane (focal plane in the camera) 2 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the optical axis L of the photographic lens 1, and have different portions 1a and 1b of the pupil of the photographic lens 1. Secondary imaging lenses 6 and 7 detect each object image formed by the secondary imaging lenses 4 and 5, respectively, for forming two object images based on the light flux passing through each of the secondary imaging lenses 4 and 5. This element row 6 and 7 is a photoelectric conversion element row for, for example, a CCD (Charge Coupled Device).

a and 8b are different pupil portions 1a of the photographing lens 1,
The image is focused on 1b. In such a device, for example, when the photographic lens 1 is extended to the left in the figure and becomes in a so-called front-focus state, the secondary imaging lenses 4 and 5 focus on the light-receiving surfaces of the respective photoelectric conversion element rows 6 and 7. Since the image of the object at the object plane position that was being imaged shifts in the direction of the arrow, the outputs of the photoelectric conversion element arrays 6 and 7 change in accordance with the relative shift of the images, thereby indicating that the object is in the front focus state and The amount will be detected. Furthermore, in the case of the rear focus state, each image shifts in the opposite direction to that in the front focus state, so that the rear focus state and its amount are detected.
以下、第10図を使用して、測距精度を低下さ

7へ結像し、その点をP1とQ1とする。 Hereinafter, using FIG. 10, among the causes of decreasing distance measurement accuracy, those that depend on the angle of view will be explained.
In FIG. 10, each member is the same as in the previous case, and the intersection of the optical axis L and the object plane O is O1, and one point off the axis is O2. Also, the luminous flux emitted from point O1 is 2
Next, by the action of the imaging lenses 4 and 5, the photoelectric conversion element array 6,

不一致を含んだまま信号処理がなされるため精度
は低下することになるわけである。 Next, if we focus on the light flux emitted from the off-axis point O2, we get
The light beam having this angle of view forms an image at or near the intended imaging plane 2, and then re-images on the photoelectric conversion element arrays 6, 7 by the secondary imaging lenses 6, 7. This point is P2, Q2. The distance Z1 between P1 and P2 and
The distance Z2 between Q1 and Q2 must be equal because they correspond to images that form O1O2, but it has been noticed that they are not equal depending on the aberration of the secondary imaging lens. Therefore, even for objects having the same subject distance, it is thought that there is a problem in that the lens focus state is determined differently in the center area and the peripheral area of the distance measurement field of view. Therefore, signal processing is performed while including the mismatch between the central region and the peripheral region, resulting in a decrease in accuracy.

低下の原因となる。 Apart from the above, if the chromatic aberration of the secondary imaging lens is not well corrected, as shown in Figure 11,
It is considered that the difference Z3 occurs because the imaging position differs depending on the wavelength. Therefore, the determination of the focal state of the lens differs depending on the hue of the subject, which causes a decrease in focusing accuracy.

ブロツクで代用することもできる。 In order to achieve this purpose, when the image formed by the objective lens is further re-imaged by the secondary imaging optical system, an object image is formed on the photoelectric conversion means by the light beams passing through different parts of the pupil of the objective lens. In particular, the secondary imaging optical system is provided with a prism surface that refracts the light beam in the image scanning direction of the photoelectric conversion means (independent of the scanning order). In the examples described later, the prism working surface is an inclined plane that is inclined with respect to the arrangement direction of the photoelectric conversion element array, but instead of inclining the plane, an optical block having an internal refractive index distribution may be used instead. You can also do it.

んだときのものである。 The inclined planes 14b and 15b are symmetrical with respect to the optical axis L, and this angle is determined by the following method.
Figure 2 A shows the difference Z in the imaging position with the prism angle as the horizontal axis.
This is a characteristic diagram when 1-Z2 is taken as the vertical axis, and B is the difference in imaging position due to wavelength, with the prism angle as the horizontal axis.
FIG. 3 is a characteristic diagram when 3 is plotted on the vertical axis. The direction in which the prism angle becomes negative is the direction in which the various quantities to be removed become positive. Furthermore, the shorter the secondary imaging lens is, the higher the sensitivity to changes becomes. The figure shows the focal length of the secondary imaging lens normalized to f=1 and the length chosen to be 1.046.

のが一法である。 As you can see from the characteristic diagram, there is a prism angle that makes Z1-Z2 0 and a prism angle that makes 2Z3 0, but since the two values do not match, Z1-Z2
One method is to adopt an intermediate value by multiplying the removal of the difference by the specific weight.

FIG. 8 shows its perspective form. Reference numeral 50 denotes a double wedge prism, which consists of image separation prisms 50a and 50b.
It is assumed that on the left side of 0 there is a photographing lens and a field lens, as in FIG. Reference numeral 51 denotes a secondary imaging lens, which is arranged so that its optical axis coincides with the optical axis L of a photographic lens (not shown). 51a and 51b are inclined planes similar to those of the isosceles prism described above, and are inclined in a direction parallel to the arrangement of the photoelectric conversion element arrays 52a and 52b. These photoelectric conversion element arrays are arranged at positions where they receive vertically separated images due to the action of a double wedge prism. In this example as well, the difference Z1-Z2 in the imaging position and the deviation Z3 in the imaging position due to the wavelength can be suppressed by the effect of the prism surface.

By having a field lens disposed near the intended image forming plane of the objective lens and a secondary imaging optical system disposed behind this field lens, the pupil of the objective lens can be Forming a pair of object images based on the light beams passing through different parts,
By detecting each of the object images with a photoelectric conversion element array arranged behind the secondary imaging optical system, the focal state of the object lens is determined from the relative shift amount of the object images. a focus detection device, wherein a predetermined two images of one of the pair of images are
In order to suppress the difference between the distance between the points and the distance between two corresponding points of the other image, the secondary imaging optical system is provided with a prism working surface that refracts the light beam in the arrangement direction of the photoelectric conversion elements. A focus detection device featuring: 2. The secondary imaging optical system comprises an optical element having a lens-working surface at one end and an inclined surface for prismatic action at the other end, arranged with optical axes parallel to each other. focus detection device. 3. The focus detection device according to claim 1, wherein the secondary imaging optical system includes a secondary imaging lens and a prism whose optical axes are arranged in parallel. 4. The secondary imaging optical system includes an optical element having a lens action surface having an optical axis coinciding with the optical axis of the objective lens at one end and a reversely inclined surface at the other end, and a double wedge prism. A focus detection device according to claim 1, comprising:
