Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform precise focusing detection while using light passed through a photographic lens efficiently by arranging a field lens near the focal plane of the photographic lens, and then providing two image forming lenses and a focusing detector across an optical axis and behind the field lens. CONSTITUTION:Luminous flux 100 arriving from a subject through a photographic lens is image-formed near a field lens 101 arranged near the focal plane. The light passes through the slit opening 102' of a mask 102 and the field lens 101 to reach two reflective optical systems 104 through a prism 103, and then passes said optical systems to be image-formed at points 1081 and 1082 on pnotoelectric converting elements 1071 and 1072 through a prism 105. Thus, a secondary image formation type optical system for focusing detection which is small- sized, uses luminous flux passed through the photographic lens effectively, and perform precise focusing detection even when the photographic lens is stopped down small is obtained.

Conventionally, in single-lens 7-lens cameras, focus detection is performed using the light flux that has passed through the photographic lens.
Various L-type focus detection optical systems have been proposed. As the focus detection optical system of these TTL methods, there are two
Two imaging lenses (hereinafter referred to as "re-imaging optical system") are arranged, and the so-called secondary imaging is formed by changing the imaging position of the object image formed by the photographing lens to the imaging position on the optical axis. There is a type of focus detection optical system. According to this secondary imaging type focus detection optical system, the focus detection of the photographing lens is made perpendicular to the optical axis by the reimaging optical system, and the imaging position of two object images is determined by a plurality of detection elements. Using a focus detector,
This can be done using the signal output from the focus detector. The secondary imaging type focus detection optical system has better accuracy than conventional photographic lenses, and even when the object is out of focus, it is easy to judge whether the focus is in the front or the back, and to that extent it is easy to judge. There are advantages such as being able to However, the secondary imaging type focus detection optical system requires a re-imaging optical system to be placed behind the focal plane of the photographic lens, which increases the size of the optical system and makes it difficult to incorporate it into the camera. The optical member is re-imaged with the photographing lens so that the entrance pupil position of the re-imaging optical system is conjugate with the vicinity of the pupil position of the photographing lens so that the light flux passing through the photographing lens efficiently enters the re-imaging optical system. must be placed between the optical system,
Furthermore, there are problems in that the optical arrangement must be such that a sufficient amount of light is incident on the re-imaging optical system even when the aperture of the photographic lens is narrowed down.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a portion of a conventional secondary imaging type focus detection optical system. 1 is a photographic lens, 2 is an aperture of the photographic lens, 5 is a field lens placed near the focal plane 8 of the photographic lens 1, and 4 is a re-imaging optical system with an optical axis 9 of the photographic lens 1 behind the field lens B. Two imaging lenses 4□43 are arranged symmetrically. 5 is a focus detector, and two photoelectric conversion elements 51.5g each consisting of a plurality of elements arranged in the optical axis 9 and the vertical TK direction are connected to imaging lenses 4x and 4, respectively.
It is placed at the focal point of g. When the imaging plane of the photographing lens 1 is on a predetermined focal plane 8, that is, when in focus, the re-imaging optical system 4 converts object image points 10 on the optical axis 9 into photoelectric conversion elements 51. 5g predetermined position 81.
The image is formed on 8a. Then, two photoelectric conversion elements 5x detect whether or not the photographing lens 1 is in focus.
, 5m can be compared. For example, in the front focus state, the object image by the photographing lens 1 is focused on the photographing lens 1 side from the focal plane 8, so the object image is formed by the re-imaging lens 4 in the direction of the optical axis 9, that is, in the direction indicated by the arrow. Therefore, the in-focus state of the photographic lens 10 can be easily detected by comparing the output states from the photoelectric conversion element 51.5m.

FIG. 2 shows the diameter of the imaging lens 41.411 with respect to the pupil diameter 21 of the photographic lens 1 when the imaging lenses 4x and /b shown in FIG. Incident m 7
This shows a state in which images x and 7s are respectively formed into a circle 61.6z as shown by solid lines. As is clear from the figure, as the aperture diameter of the photographing lens 1 is made smaller, the imaging lens
1141, a circle 6s shown by a dotted line and a circle 6z shown by a solid line,
Only the light beam that passes through the overlapped portion with 6g will be incident. This is undesirable because it causes an insufficient amount of light incident on the photoelectric conversion elements 5x and 5g and reduces the focus detection ability for dark objects. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of an optical system. As shown in FIG. 3, the imaging lens 41,411 according to the present invention has a shape 4o in which a portion is cut and removed in a straight line. The re-imaging optical system has the shape shown in FIG. 4, in which two lenses L shown in FIG. 3 are pasted together along their cutting lines, or are integrally molded or held together by a frame or the like. A circle 4s whose diameter is the dotted line in FIG. An image is formed like a circle 94 within the pupil diameter 21. A mask (not shown) that transmits only the inside of the circle 43 is attached to the front or rear of the imaging lens 'b and the fourth lens so that the light beam does not enter any area other than the circle 43 indicated by the dotted line in FIG.

When the imaging lens is stopped down to a diameter smaller than the circular shape 94, it is desirable to switch the mask or aperture (not shown) to one with a smaller diameter accordingly. Even in such a case, a circle whose diameter is the length of the cutting line included within the aperture of the re-imaging lens can be imaged within the pupil diameter of the imaging lens.

In the method of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, in the conventional method, the optical axis 64 of the re-imaging lens and the pupil center of the pupil 61 coincided, but in the present invention, as shown in FIG. The axis 44 and the pupil center 4s do not coincide. Also, to reduce the size of the re-imaging optical system 4, use the circle 4 shown by the dotted line in FIG. It is desirable to cut and remove the lens portion other than I.

As shown in FIG. 5, a circle 94 corresponding to the entrance pupil of the re-imaging optical system is imaged on the pupil diameter 21 of the photographic lens 1, so the aperture diameter of the photographic lens 1 is made small and the pupil diameter is Diameter 2
Even if 1 is made small, a sufficiently large amount of light flux can be made incident on the re-imaging optical system 4.

As a result, the light flux passing through the photographic lens 7:1 can be efficiently used for focus detection, thereby making it possible to improve the focus detection ability for dark subjects and to speed up the signal processing time. Furthermore, by forming the re-imaging optical system into the shape shown in FIG. 4, the re-imaging optical system can be made smaller.
