Abstract
A camera having an automatic focusing device is arranged to inhibit the diaphragm aperture thereof from being controlled and set during the process of automatic focusing at any aperture value near to a full aperture value at which the focusing accuracy of the automatic focusing device is hardly warrantable, so that photographing can be carried out always in an in-focus condition.
