Abstract:
A camera including a photographing lens and a color imaging element for receiving an object light beam passed through the photographing lens and converting the object light beam into an electrical signal, comprising:an autofocus sensor for receiving an object light beam passed through the photographing lens; a focus detecting apparatus for detecting a-focus adjusting state of the photographing lens based on an output from the autofocus sensor; an image signal processing section for processing the electrical signal output from the color imaging element and generating an image signal; a correction calculating circuit for calculating, based on the image signal output from the image signal processing section, a correction value for correcting a detection error due to chromatic aberration of the focus detecting apparatus; and a lens driving apparatus for driving the photographing lens based on an output from the focus detecting apparatus and an output from the correction calculating circuit.
