Abstract
An automatic focusing device includes a detecting device for detecting a state of an object image formed by an objective lens, a driving device for driving the lens in response to the detecting device, and a setting device for setting a moving range in which the lens is movable by the driving device. The moving range may be selected from mutually different plural ranges including a first range and a second range which have a mutually overlapping portion, or including a range containing a part of a normal moving range and a part of a macro-photographing moving range. Further, the moving range may be selected by setting an end position thereof beyond which the lens is prevented from moving.
