It is an object of this invention to efficiently correct, with a small
calculation amount, the unbalance caused between the first and second
image signals when limitation is imposed by vignetting in a photographing
optical system. In order to achieve this object, there is provided a
focus detection device comprising a solid-state image sensing device
including a first photoelectric conversion element array which
photoelectrically converts a first light beam passing through a first
area of an exit pupil of a photographing optical system, and a second
photoelectric conversion element array which photoelectrically converts a
second light beam passing through a second area of the exit pupil which
is different from the first area, and a computing unit for detecting a
focus state of the photographing optical system by computing a
correlation between a first image signal which is an image signal from
the first photoelectric conversion element array and a second image
signal which is an image signal from the second photoelectric conversion
element array in accordance with the position of a focus detection area
in an image sensing frame on the basis of the ratio between a shift
amount t of a focus detection opening pupil, formed when limitation is
imposed by an exit window of the photographing optical system, with
respect to an optical axis, and a width T of the focus detection opening
pupil.
