Abstract
A manual focusing circuit of a camera comprising a rotation ring having a plurality of projections, wherein the ring is manually rotated forward and rearward by a user. The manual focusing circuit further comprises a first sensing element, which is coupled to one of the projections of the rotation ring, for producing a first signal; a second sensing element, which is coupled to another of the projections of the rotation ring, for producing a second signal having a phase difference of 90 degrees against the first signal; a signal stabilizer, which is coupled to the second sensing element, for removing a noise from the second signal to produce a stabilized signal representing a rotation number of the rotation ring; and circuitry, which is coupled to the first sensing element and the signal stabilizer, for producing an output signal representing a rotation direction of the rotation ring based on the first signal and the stabilized signal.
