Abstract

See full text

A distance detecting apparatus includes an imaging unit that generates a first image signal and a second image signal and an arithmetic processing unit. The distance detecting apparatus detects the distance to a subject on the basis of an amount of defocus indicating the distance between an imaging plane of the imaging unit and an image forming plane of light fluxes. The arithmetic processing unit executes a first step of calculating an amount of temporary defocus on the basis of the first image signal and the second image signal, a second step of calculating a conversion factor used to convert an amount of image displacement between a first image and a second image into the amount of defocus on the basis of the amount of temporary defocus, and a third step of calculating the amount of defocus by using the conversion factor.
