Abstract
An automatically focusing camera apparatus includes an image device for photo-shooting an object and converting the resultant value to an electric signal, a signal processor for applying a digital signal process and a digital zoom process to the converted picture signal to provide a basic luminance signal and a basic color signal, a focus value detector for receiving at least one of the zoom-processed signals and detecting its focus value, and a controller for carrying out an AF (automatic focusing) control using the focus value detected by the focus value detector member. The apparatus precisely performs the processing of an object-shooting signal and the AF operation and prevents the AF operation from being distorted during a digital zoom operation.
