Abstract
In the disclosed invention, a camera has a blur detecting device which detects a possible blurring of a photograph in plural areas of an objective field through the use of image sensors such as CCDs. One of the plural areas is selected for detecting a blur therein. With this approach, a possible blur can be precisely detected at whichever location the main object of the scene to be photographed may exist within an objective field.
